(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) GNL Quintero SA (GNLQ), has been awarded the ‘Safety and Health Management at Work' award in the medium-business category at the Tucapel Gonz?lez Garc?a Awards 2014.
GNLQ, in which Oman Oil Co (OOC) owns a 19.6 per cent stake, operates South America's first liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal with a throughput capacity of 2.5 Mtpa, equating to an exported natural gas rate of 10mn m3 per day.
''We at OOC strive to uplift the best practices in terms of health, safety, security and environment (HSSE) in our investments and seek to adapt those practices within our existing and future local investments. OOC is committed to developing and improving systematic management mechanisms across all operations and the standards of HSSE constitute a significant part of this commitment. We strive to build a culture of sustainability and excellence in safety across all our group of companies and we will continue to look at ways to strengthen safety awareness and operate responsibly,'' said Mulham al Jarf, deputy CEO of OOC.
The jury, formed of the Chilean Superintendent of Social Security, Undersecretary of Social Security, and representatives from the Labour Ministry, National Workers Union, Industry Trade Association and International Workers Organisation, carefully evaluated the candidates in order to select ‘the best of the best' in each category, a press release said.
A number of parameters were considered, including employee involvement and environmental awareness, lost time injury (LTI) free runs, as well as onsite safety, health and welfare conditions.
With a record of zero accidents in five years of operations of the terminal and more than 2mn man hours without LTI, GNLQ also won the 2014 Valparaiso Industrial Association ASIVA in the categories of safety and CSR
