Petrosphere Incorporated, together with its OSH Consultant and Lead Trainer, was recognized as a nominee and regional qualifier during the 13th Gawad Kaligtasan at Kalusugan (GKK) Regional Awarding of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC).
Petrosphere, the first and only accredited Safety and Consultancy Company accredited by the DOLE OSCH, together with its OSH Consultant and Lead Trainer Engr. Emi Marjorie Gabinete received the Certificate of Appreciation, who was accompanied by Engr. Harthwell Capistrano, OSH Consultant and Board Chairman.
“It was my first time to be nominated for the GKK award. Given the short notice and tedious process of preparing the documents, I almost did not make it – despite the foreseen challenge, I tried and made it to the 2nd Validation last Aug 2024. GKK is likened to a road less travelled and very few want to take the initial steps,” said Engr. Gabinete.
“Having reached this far, I am honored and at the same time humbled that I emerged as the lone qualifier for the 13th GKK regional award (Individual Category),” Engr. Gabinete added.
Petrosphere has been actively pursuing community services in the last 11 years and partnered with various organizations to providing OSH awareness including environmental protection, emergency response, and other relevant areas.
“This is the first time that we participated in the GKK, and we are thankful that we made it to be validated as a regional qualifier. The team’s efforts had been recognized by the validators, including the strong performance on several key areas and dimensions of the GKK award. We are thankful and looking forward to the next GKK Awards,” Engr. Capistrano said.
The recognition and awarding ceremony held last October 8 at Century Park Hotel, Manila, and was attended by Rio Tuba Nickel Corporation, the regional winner of Region IV-B and the National Capital Region, together with the winners in National Capital Region, DMCI and Cognizant.
