SAFETY NEWSLETTER

THE QATARGAS SAFETY ENVIRONMENT & QUALITY DEPARTMENT IS PROUD TO PRODUCE THE ANNUAL CORPORATE MEMORY SAFETY NEWSLETTER TO SHARE THE LESSONS LEARNED WITH OUR EMPLOYEES AND SHAREHOLDERS THROUGH THE QATARGAS WEBSITE AND INTRANET SYSTEM.

QG PROCESS SAFETY
One important issue in maintaining a good Process Safety Culture in any organisation is to remember the past and learn the lessons from the previous incidents. We must always remember and respect the hazards associated with our business process. What Can You Do? Be vigilant about the hazards of the materials and processes in your plant. Recognise near miss events to remind you of what could have gone wrong. Use incidents which occur in other facilities, such as the incidents reported in the Oil & Gas Industries, to remind you of the possibility of similar problems at your plant. Always operate within safe operating limits, and established operating procedures. When this isnt possible, notify your supervisor immediately. Use approved methods for authorising changes to established procedures, including a thorough risk evaluation and approval by knowledgeable authorities.
