As an industry leading provider of renewable energy, we uphold the highest standards in Health, Safety, Security, Environment (HSSE) and Compliance, particularly as our solar installations are located in sensitive spaces like schools and hospitals. Our commitment extends beyond regulatory adherence it prioritizes the well-being of students, patients, staff, and the wider community.
We deliver comprehensive HSSE training to our field staff, subcontractors and building occupants, with regular refreshers and clear hazard signage maintained post-commissioning. Emergency readiness is reinforced through simulated drills and fire response training, while continuous improvement is driven by routine audits and monthly HSSE committee reviews.
We empower our teams through active OSH committees, promote accountability through recognition and corrective action, and proudly report milestones like zero Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) across projects. Our engagement with communities during national safety events raises awareness and builds trust.
By tracking performance through HSSE KPIs and integrating smart technologies, we ensure that safety and sustainability remain central to everything we do.
As of 30th June 2025, we successfully achieved the milestone of One Million Safe Man-Hours, ensuring compliance during the delivery of 77 MW without any LTIs and with zero environmental incidents recorded.
Achievement of 300,000 Safe Man-Hours
A significant milestone was achieved in 2024 with the completion of 300,000 safe man-hours, coinciding with the successful contribution of 20 MW of solar energy to the national grid. This achievement was celebrated with “The Safety Awards 2024,” a gala event held in Uva Province, recognizing the unwavering commitment and dedication of the GAIA team to maintaining the highest safety standards.
Fire Safety & Emergency Preparedness
Ensuring fire safety is a vital part of securing our rooftop solar sites. We regularly conduct fire emergency mock drills to strengthen on-site preparedness and response. These training sessions focus on building awareness, team coordination, and confidence among occupants.
Participants receive hands-on experience with fire extinguishers, learn firefighting techniques, understand different fire types and causes, and explore key prevention and safety measures. By promoting a proactive safety culture, we aim to reduce risks and enhance overall site resilience.
Environmental Initiatives
In celebration of World Environment Day 2024, GAIA organised a multi-faceted program under the theme “Our Land. Our Future.” The event brought together experts, students, and staff to raise awareness and encourage sustainable practices.
Highlights included:
- Educational sessions by environmental authorities on land degradation, restoration strategies, and the role of community action.
- Tree planting activities promote biodiversity, air quality improvement, and soil conservation.
- A Bee Farming Awareness workshop offering practical knowledge on beekeeping, colony care, and the ecological role of bees.
