Hulu Langat, 8 March 2023 – Helms Geomarine Sdn Bhd (HELMS), a leading geotechnical investigation and offshore drilling contractor, has set a new HSE milestone by achieving one million safe manhours without lost time injury (LTI). This monumental achievement was celebrated in style at HELMS’ very own riverside plantation resort on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur called Helms Retreat.

Dato’ Helmi Zulkawi, the Managing Director of HELMS, spoke about the importance of safety in the workplace and emphasized the role of motivation and commitment in ensuring that the workplace is safe. He stressed the need for team support and growth, emphasizing that every time someone speaks up about safety, it could save lives!

Furthermore, Dato’ Helmi highlighted the increasing demand for offshore soil boring to support offshore Oil and Gas and Wind Farm projects, which would inevitably increase the workload. However, he emphasized that HELMS would not lose focus on safety in the face of such challenges. Keeping each other safe at work is crucial.

HELMS’ long-term contracts with PETRONAS, SHELL, and PTTEP Thailand, as well as its presence in Japan for OWF site investigations, highlight the trust and confidence placed in HELMS by some of the most respected companies in the industry.
