Ethiopian Construction Corporation (ECC) faced rising incident rates across multiple high-rise projects in Addis Ababa. Inconsistent PPE quality, lack of standardized procurement, and limited worker training were identified as root causes.
Safety First Company deployed a comprehensive program: standardized PPE packages per trade, on-site safety audits, fall protection systems for all work-at-height teams, and a 5-day train-the-trainer program in Amharic and English.
Within 12 months, recordable incidents dropped 60%. PPE compliance audits reached 98% across all active sites. ECC now designates Safety First as their sole approved safety supplier for projects exceeding 50 million ETB.
