Health & Safety
The success of our business relies on the safe delivery of operations, and our focus on health and safety remains resolute, irrespective of any changes to the business. Our policies reflect international best practices, including IFC Performance Standards, the ICMM Sustainable Development Framework, and IOGP Standards.
Throughout all our business activities, we engage people with a strong safety culture, encourage regular safety observations and recognition of positive practices, implement fit-for-purpose training, and hold regular all-staff safety engagements. By keeping everyone close to the safety process, we empower individuals to stop any work that could be unsafe.
Safety management system
Our health and safety (HSE) policy and management system is designed to reduce risk to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) and incorporates:
- Risk management
- Competency and training
- Contractor management
- Process safety and integrity management
- Personal safety management
- Permit to Work (PTW) systems
- Management of hazardous substances
- Land transportation
- Incident reporting and investigation
- Emergency response and crisis management
- Assurance and management review
In pursuit of controlling identified risks: the hierarchy of controls adopted by Genel.
Continuous improvement
We approach safety through a continuous improvement cycle – Plan, Do, Check, Act.
We establish objectives and targets which drive ongoing performance improvements, and conduct risk-based internal and external audits and inspections to address areas for progress promptly. We remain committed to ‘Goal Zero’ against serious accidents and reducing HSE incidents, including ‘lost time injury frequency’, ‘total recordable incident rate’, and ‘process safety event rate’.
Operational safety
Genel’s principle is consulting with staff and stakeholders openly and honestly: we’re committed to reporting all incidents and sharing learnings as appropriate. For example, our transparent approach to hazard identification, risk management and risk controls are laid out here.
