KARACHI: Pakistan Navy on Thursday conducted Annual Safety Review with an aim to create safety awareness and inculcate a culture of safety among naval personnel.

Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi was the chief guest on the occasion.

While addressing the audience, he said that Pakistan Navy had come a long way in adopting a comprehensive safety regime.

He said the change in attitude of personnel and adaptation of safe workplace practices was evidently visible from the safe conduct of extensively complex operations.

“This, however, remains a continuous and progressive phenomenon,” he said while urging each individual of the Pakistan Navy to bear the responsibility of safeguarding not only his or her own life but also the expensive, state of the art assets with which he or she had been entrusted with by the government through inculcation of a robust safety culture.
