The company’s commitment to improving its Health, Safety and Environment Management System has become increasingly important over the years and this, clearly demonstrated by the investments made in this field. Over the years, this commitment has taken form with the introduction of HSE and Quality Departments, creating a new service, able to respond to and therefore certainly better meet the needs of a new national and international market which is increasingly aware of quality, health, safety and environmental protection issues, while guaranteeing shared action plans able to ensure that the resources operating in the area are optimized and that activities are carried out with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
To achieve the aims set, in compliance with Health, Safety and Environmental Standards, OGFYG Nig.Ltd has a team of Safety Technicians, Environmental protection specialists as well as an adequate number of medical staffs reporting directly to the company management and liaising with the QHSE department. The QHSE department is responsible for steering, coordinating and controlling the HSE system, mainly providing the company’s policies and operating support to guarantee that it is effectively implemented at the work sites. Moreover, involving employees in the company’s HSE aims by setting up incentive schemes directly involved to safety initiatives and relative achievements of excellent performance is top priority as is defining clear organizational and operational standards, procedures and plans. HSE actions and performances are monitored and controlled by ongoing three – level auditing activities:
System Audits: aimed at checking that general procedures involving Health, Safety and Environmental Protection issues are correctly and constantly applied.
Project Audits: aimed at checking that work instructions, safety standards, safety and emergency plans are implemented at the work site and that standard and laws on health safety and environmental protection are complied with.
Contractor audits: aimed at checking that contractors correctly implement health, safety and environment activities as defined in the relative contract; the aim is not to interfere in the HSE activities managed by the contractors but to monitor that they are fully applied.
Finally, the HSE management system is periodically reviewed and revised on the basis of results achieved and future objectives in order to guarantee ongoing improvement of workers’ health, safety and environmental protection.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT: Consistent with its commitment to contribute to sustainable development, OGFYG Nig.Ltd has a systematic approach to health, safety and environmental management to achieve continuous performance improvement.
