Last February 13, Servicio Filipino, Inc. convened its Safety Excellence Conference 2026, a strategic gathering that reaffirmed the organization’s unwavering commitment to Safety, Health & Environmental (SHE) excellence across all its nationwide operations.
The conference was facilitated and prepared by Mr. Claudio Luto, EMR, SO3, Corporate Safety and Health Officer, whose leadership in developing and strengthening SFI’s SHE framework continues to guide the organization’s compliance and risk management initiatives.
The keynote address was delivered by Mr. Luis Alberto Anastacio, President and CEO, who emphasized that safety is not merely a regulatory requirement; but a leadership responsibility and a defining pillar of SFI’s long-term growth.
A Clear Direction: Zero Harm by 2026
Central to the conference was the reinforcement of SFI’s Zero Harm Goal ensuring that no employee, contractor, or visitor experiences injury or illness due to workplace activities.
"Safety is love + discipline. Safety is the purest form of care in the workplace. But care is not what we say - care is what we do." - Mr. Anastacio
In his address, Mr. Anastacio underscored that safety must remain embedded in daily operations, decision-making processes, and leadership accountability at every level of the organization.
Zero Harm is not an aspiration; it is a standard.
Leadership Insight: Strengthening Safety from the Ground Up
According to Mr. Claudio Luto, the Safety Excellence Conference 2026 marks a shift from reactive compliance to proactive resilience.
“The conference emphasized a Safety-II approach — focusing on prevention through near-miss reporting, leadership accountability, and empowering employees to act before risks escalate. We are strengthening a culture where safety is a shared responsibility, supported by technology, mental health awareness, and continuous training.”
He further highlighted that the seminar reinforces SFI’s commitment to ISO standards, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency — ensuring that safety systems protect both employees and business continuity.
For employees, the value is practical and immediate:
“Through targeted training, toolbox talks, and reinforcing our three basic safety habits — stay alert, use PPE properly, and report hazards immediately — we are equipping our teams to work safely and confidently across all sites.”
Proactive Risk Management and Incident Prevention
A major focus of the conference was the implementation of a structured risk management system anchored on:
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Control (HIRAC)
Risk prioritization based on impact and likelihood
Application of the Hierarchy of Controls
Transparent incident reporting systems
Root cause analysis and lessons-learned communication
This proactive approach ensures that potential risks are identified early and addressed systematically before they escalate into critical incidents.
Interactive Workshop Highlights: Key Safety Insights from the Ground
Participants engaged in an interactive group activity where teams identified recurring safety concerns and critical lessons from actual SFI project experiences. The session encouraged open discussion and collaboration, reinforcing that safety awareness begins at the frontline.
Data-Driven Safety Performance
The conference also reinforced the importance of measurable outcomes through key performance indicators such as:
Incident and near-miss tracking
Lost Time Injury metrics
Audit findings and compliance rates
Continuous monitoring and trend analysis
Performance will be reviewed monthly, quarterly, and annually, with structured reporting to senior leadership and the Board of Directors — ensuring continuous improvement and accountability.
