Up to now, the entire Plant has achieved over 39.4 million safe working hours. To achieve the above results, there are significant contributions from contractors and important partners of BSR. Head of the Department Nguyen Quang Hung expressed his sincere thanks to all contractors' employees who have made continuous efforts to contribute to BSR in completing all safety and environment goals.
