Safety & Loss Prevention
Safety is vital and a requirement of employment for both employees and contractors alike, and it is integrated into every element of the refining activities. The refinery is adamant that accidents and injuries can be avoided and understands the value of safety excellence in fostering ongoing commercial success. In order to prevent losses, Gaznapfatrans uses a comprehensive program that takes into account all HSE, EH, and QAE concerns (HSEQ). In order to establish an Incident and Injury-free (IIF) working culture at Gaznapfatrans, this includes encouraging real concern and care among all employees and fostering interpersonal ties. Additionally, regular interactions with senior management provide employees and contractors a chance to voice concerns about safety. Additionally, Gaznapfatrans promotes a culture of behavior-based safety engagement among its workers and subcontractors. Through peer review and mutual observation, all employees are encouraged to assume responsibility for their own safety and well-being as well as that of their coworkers.
Occupational health and safety
According to the policy on occupational health, safety, and the environment, our major goal is to lessen workplace injuries and accidents in order to protect employees, prevent health problems, lessen the impact of our operations on the environment, and enhance Gaznapfatrans's reputation and image. We keep working to enhance our safety culture, strengthen top management's commitment to issues of health and safety, increase employee rights and capabilities (including giving them the ability to stop work that they believe is being done unsafely), and identify the underlying factors that lead to accidents.
The management of Gaznapfatrans. has steadfastly promoted and advocated the following concepts during the last three years:
Our corporate culture of occupational safety and health has undergone favorable improvements, and we have increased reporting transparency by more than 300 percent. The next stage in advancing transparency will be Gaznapfatrans's IOGP membership, which would also permit the sharing of information and knowledge. The LTIR was benefited by incident prevention and accident investigation, which were based on the analysis of root causes, training, and dissemination of information on lessons learned throughout the group of firms. We continue to compare ourselves to other oil and gas firms (International Organization of Oil and Gas Producers, IOGP) in order to pinpoint areas that need to be improved in terms of occupational health and safety and to lower the number of incidents.
Process Safety
To fulfill its Health Safety Environment & Quality Policy objective of "No accidents, no harm to people, no damage to the environment, and 100% customer satisfaction," Gaznapfatrans places a strong focus on process safety management. To avoid possible Loss of Containment (LOC) accidents, a strict process safety management system is in place. Gaznapfatrans passionately believes in using lessons from previous mistakes to enhance process safety performance. Comprehensive investigations of internal LOC and near-miss accidents, as well as the lessons learned from incidents at other external refineries, are used to identify and implement improvement opportunities.
In order to develop our employees' proficiency in matters relating to Process Safety, Gaznapfatrans also holds monthly training sessions. In order to create a safe working environment for all of our refinery employees, process safety performance is carefully monitored and reported, with strong cooperation between Gaznapfatrans and its industry peers as well as regulatory organizations predominating. We are aware of the extent to which our operations have an influence on the atmosphere and the environment, as well as our contribution to local, regional, and global climate change. Due to this, we are concentrating on creating a plan for lowering and managing air emissions and investigating the potential for implementing cutting-edge initiatives and technologies. In terms of atmospheric emissions, we work to comply with national and international environmental regulations.
