● Mr. Emmanuel Excellove Egyabeng
The cliché that says “safety is a small investment for the rich future”, and “safety rules are your best tools” actually resonates to building a formidable future for homes and industries through gas installations.
That, notwithstanding, it is very prudent that, one must always put measures in place to enhance a safety living at where individuals reside, and one cannot leave the issue of safe gas installation in this phenomenon.
The spotlight today is on an enthusiastic man who is providing sterling services and creating awareness of gas installation at homes and industries.
Mr. Emmanuel Excellove Egyabeng, Managing Director of Excello Engineering Services in an interview with The Spectator highlighted on the need for ensuring safety at all times when one uses gas for domestic and industrial purposes.
The use of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), has been a major use of cooking fuel in developed areas and it is classified as a clean burning fuel that has low carbon and emits virtually no black carbon.
Its usage, like the two-sided coin has its pros and cons when handled with an oversight.

“I am an optimistic person who always want to acquire valuable skills through building on professional prowess by learning current technologies and tools used in my line of work”.
He mentioned that, he always goes the extra mile to unleash his peculiar potentials imbibed in him and has loved to work on big projects and some notable thermal plants in the country.
Training
Aspiring to be Ghana’s top engineering services provider, the expert revealed that he takes keen interest in training the Ghanaian youth to venture into all the services provided by Excello Engineering which would serve as a gateway for their financial liberation.
According to him, training the youth would help bridge the unemployment gap in the nation, which could help alleviate poverty among the unemployed.
Mr. Egyabeng counselled the youth to branch into areas which involve vocational and technical training by seeing it as a viable alternative to harness the talents for financial and economic well-being.
“This work is lucrative and a youth who would delve into this venture at an early stages would make a lot of income and enjoy significant benefits” he added.
Services
The Director reiterated that, his outfit has the best of tools and personnel who deliver quality services in Gas piping installation, fire suppression system, gas safety cylinder cage, gas leakage detectors, domestic gas cooker service, industrial kitchen design and set-up among others.
With staunch passion in propagating the need for the safety usage of gas and other engineering precautions, Mr Egyabeng a dedicated Christian, draws his motivation from the work he does as an evangelist to spread the need for safety for all to practice.
“I see my job as an advocate who is rescuing the perishing that lacks information on gas usage and its installation”, he stressed.
The skillful engineer speaks English, Fante, Ga and Twi, loves athletics and enjoys cooking a variety of foods. “I can cook sumptuous meals and even prepare exotic breakfast” he disclosed.

The Ghana Tourism Development Company Limited (GTD) in collaboration with the Department of Organisation and Human Resource Management, University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) has marked the 2026 World Safety Day Celebration in Accra.
The event held on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at the Cedi Conference Centre, Legon was under the theme “Good Psychosocial Working Environment: A Pathway to Thriving Workers and Strong Organizations.”
The day is observed globally to promote safe and healthy working conditions and to raise awareness about both physical and psychological risks at the workplace.
The event formed part of efforts by stakeholders to deepen national conversations on workplace safety, particularly the growing concern about psychosocial well being.
In his keynote address, the Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, Dr Abdul Rashid Hassan Pelpuo stressed that workers must not be treated as machines but as human beings with dignity, rights and families.
He explained that unsafe work environments marked by fear, harassment, intimidation and excessive pressure reduce productivity and weaken organisations.
He noted that although physical hazards such as faulty equipment and unsafe buildings remain a concern, psychological risks including excessive workload, bullying, job insecurity and toxic communication are equally dangerous and must be addressed.
According to him, psychological hazards are real, measurable and preventable, and should be treated with the same urgency as physical risks.
He maintained that safe and healthy working conditions are not a luxury but a fundamental right that supports productivity and social justice.
Dr Pelpuo further stated that the government remains committed to strengthening occupational safety and health systems, adding that worker wellbeing is a core responsibility of leadership and not a public relations issue.
He urged employers to create environments where dignity is protected, and workers are empowered to speak without fear.
The Dean of University of Ghana Business School, Prof Ernest Y Tweneboah Koduah noted that the school is committed to shaping a better world of work that is equitable, productive and sustainable.
He announced that the school has secured accreditation from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission to introduce a programme in organisational health and safety.
He explained that gaps in workplace safety in Ghana are linked to weak enforcement, underreporting and limited professional training.
He added that the new programme will equip graduates with the skills to prioritise employee wellbeing as a key organisational responsibility.
Prof Tweneboah Koduah urged organisations to assess psychosocial risks, invest in human resource capacity and create environments where workers can openly discuss mental health concerns.
He emphasised that collaboration between academia and industry is essential to addressing workplace safety challenges.
Delivering remarks on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, the Registrar of the University of Ghana, Emelia Naa Kwantsua Agyei Mensah described the event as historic, noting that it is the first time the university is marking the global observance.
She explained that the focus on psychosocial wellbeing reflects current realities in the world of work.
She stated that employee health, including mental and emotional wellbeing, directly affects productivity, morale and institutional performance.
Mrs Agyei Mensah added that the university is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for staff and students, beyond minimum legal requirements.
She called on leaders to reflect on the kind of workplaces they create and to prioritise the wellbeing of employees.
CEO of the GTDC, Prof Kobby on his part noted that its participation aligns with its commitment under the Riyadh Declaration, which calls on member states to improve infrastructure and public safety, as well as enhance services, transport, connectivity and accessibility.
He indicated that the company intends to use the platform to highlight Ghana’s readiness to implement the declaration, with a strong focus on worker safety and wellbeing as a foundation for sustainable tourism development.
The event brought together policymakers, academics, industry players and students to discuss strategies for improving workplace safety and promoting healthier work environments across the country.
