              HSE and Risk Management
            
            
              As a leading operator in the energy sector, our activities pose a number of high level
            
            
              risk factors such as fire and explosions, apart from the more ordinary day-to-day
            
            
              concerns seen in other commercial organisations. Accordingly our health, safety and
            
            
              environment (HSE) practices are based on a dual approach – firstly, the safety of our
            
            
              people and our customers together with the safe maintenance and operation of our
            
            
              infrastructure are given the topmost priority while secondly, we aim to take a leadership
            
            
              role in the industry, seeking to raise safety standards as well as levels of professionalism
            
            
              throughout the region.
            
            
              
                Our Corporate HSE Policy and Management Structure
              
            
            
              Under our HSE Policy, we pledge to conduct our operations in a
            
            
              manner that poses no risk to the health, well-being and safety of
            
            
              our employees, contractors, customers and the public-at-large.
            
            
              We also make every effort to protect the environment.
            
            
              We therefore seek to
            
            
              
                Ensure
              
            
            
              health and safety at work, while minimising any HSE risks.
            
            
              
                Achieve
              
            
            
              a zero accident rate as well as a high standard of environmental care
            
            
              through continuous improvement.
            
            
              
                Eliminate
              
            
            
              HSE hazards in our operations, applications and services.
            
            
              
                Carry
              
            
            
              out necessary HSE assessments for all major projects and conduct regular
            
            
              HSE audits throughout our operations.
            
            
              
                Promote
              
            
            
              HSE awareness and conscientiousness among employees, contractors
            
            
              and business associates through education and training.
            
            
              
                Achieve
              
            
            
              full compliance with all relevant legislation.
            
            
              
                Use
              
            
            
              environmentally friendly materials and technologies, promote economic
