Oil and gas wells will extract sulfide from hydrogen, and expose the staff to hydrogen-sulfide gas. The three best practices to help avoid injuries and death are careful to control the hydrogen-sulfide gas; proper planning; and training programs for employees.
Oil and gas and marine workers who are exposed to dangerous environments, including chemicals and oil in substances produced and used may suffer from occupational lung, skin, and other organ diseases at rates dependent on the quantity and period of exposure time.
Those exposed to dangerous levels of noise may suffer noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Other hazards include confined spaces that may injure untrained workers or threaten their lives.
The objective of occupational safety and health risk management is to identify and assess workplace-existing safety and health hazards, and to define appropriate control and recovery steps
The Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines are technical reference documents with general and industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP).
When one or more members of the World Bank Group are involved in a project, these EHS Guidelines are applied as required by their respective policies and standards.
These industry sector EHS guidelines are designed to be used together with the General EHS Guidelines document, which provides guidance to users on common EHS issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors.
Every employee owes it a duty to the company, to him/herself as well as unto others to exercise the greatest care in his work and to use the best endeavors to prevent the occurrence of undue accidents.
All staff on our project sites and in offices are also expected to cooperate with the company in the prevention of accidents and must comply with such Health, Safety, and Environment regulations pertaining to their places and mode of work as are applicable from time to time.
Our company operates in a highly regulated environment. We work in high-risk environments including our offices, and project sites, both ours and those of our clients and customers.
It is therefore legally binding and ethically demanded to understand, abide and enforce publicized regulations relating to the company business, and projects specific to your work, and generally.
Portal Consultancy emphasizes on the health and safety of all workers (soft and hard) in our projects, in line with industry standards and international best practices. HSE for us is not just a policy on paper but is a responsibility to clients, employees, and to the environment.
We conduct safety analysis for ongoing projects and analysis of failures. We have the depth of knowledge to create a robust health and safety plan.
At Portal Consultancy, we emphasize the health and safety of all workers (soft and hard) in our projects, in line with industry standards and international best practices. HSE for us is not just a policy on paper but is a responsibility to clients, employees, and to the environment.
We ensure the following are done at all of our project sites and offices:
HSSE Project Design
Design action plans relating to Corporate Sustainability and Risk Assessment policy, Corporate Governance Policy, HSE policy, Environmental Policy, Occupational Health Safety Policy, and Quality policy.
1. We delineate and define an action plan on Environment Impact Assessment (EIA), Statute compliance conditions, and compulsions;
2. We interface Project determinants to Risks & Opportunities at Design;
3. We accomplish Project Risk Assessment (PRA) exercise and align the mitigation program;
4. We delineate HSE Implementation Plan for the project;
5. We conduct Workshops / Training / Induction to our project team and appraise the acceptable performance indicators for the project;
6. We collate Emergency Management Plan (EMP)
HSSE Project Implementation
During the project implementation phase, we ensure the following:
1. Align Visual Management attributes to the project;
2. Conduct performance protocols as checklists to the project site;
3. Conduct HSE system Inspection / Audits/Safety audits/ Competitions/Awareness programs;
4. Conduct Incident/Accident investigation & establish Corrective Action / Preventive action;
5. Review Safe Work Methods through Job Safety Analysis/Job Hazard Analysis/Job Exposure Analysis;
6. Facilitate Off-site Emergency plan/ Mock drills/ Fire Safety Management System;
7. Preside over the implementation of HSE Implementation including Environmental Management;
HSSE Training
The success of a project requires knowledge, skills, teamwork, dedication, and leadership. These attributes are directly related to the people that are involved in a project.
During the course of a project, we make sure every individual’s knowledge and skills and his/her team’s skills are tested at every level. We work to continue upgrading of skills to keep up with changing times.
By engaging in the above steps, we create clear direction, efficiency, timely response, and quality outcomes at all our project sites.
