ADNOC
HSE 2003 Awards --- Opening speech by H.E. Yousef Omair Bin Yousef
Posted: 19 May 2004
In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is with great pleasure that I welcome all of you to the annual
ADNOC 2003 Health, Safety and Environment Award ceremony.
This is the one event each year where we have an opportunity to
collectively celebrate our Health Safety & Environment achievements.
For 2003, these were significant, throughout all levels of the organization.
Let me reflect on some of our more notable achievements over the
past year.
- ADNOC recorded its lowest lost time injury frequency ever, reaching
(0.5). This is significantly better than the industry average.
Seven of our companies did not have any lost time injuries in
2003.
- We achieved an additional 10 per cent reduction in flaring levels
and reduced our total air emission levels by 6 per cent despite
higher production levels.
- Comprehensive systems are now in place to handle the waste
associated with our drilling operations.
- Risk assessment and management has become embedded in the Group
Companies. We are consistently identifying the hazards and assessing
the risks associated with our activities.
- Our new projects are undergoing rigorous Health Safety &
Environment impact assessments.
- And finally Health, Safety and Environment Codes of Practice
are now being delivered which will set the standards of Health
Safety & Environment performance for the ADNOC Group in the
future.
All of this has been achieved through the hard work of our employees
and contractors. While 10 submissions have been selected for special
recognition this evening, all of this year’s Health, Safety
and Environment Award entries contributed substantially to us achieving
these results.
In conclusion I would like to offer my congratulations to this
year’s award winners and also thank all those individuals,
companies and contractors that participated in the program and have
contributed to its success.
I hope you enjoy this evening and thank you all.
