DOHA: RasGas Operations Projects Department recently bagged the ‘ExxonMobil Production Company Projects Safety Award’ for project execution excellence in safety for 2013, said a statement yesterday.
The award recognises ExxonMobil-affiliated organisations worldwide that have demonstrated safety performance in a large operations project organisation category, greater than one million work hours.
Fahad Al Khater, Manager of the department, received the award from Tara Parker, Production Projects Manager, ExxonMobil Production Company, at a ceremony at RasGas headquarters.
Hamad Mubarak Al Muhannadi, Chief Operations Officer, Brett Doherty, Chief Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Officer, and Omar Al Misnad, Manager, Maintenance Department, were present.
“The award reflects the excellence of RasGas as an operating organisation,” said Al Khater.
“A brownfield project execution is one of the most complex in the oil and gas industry, and we are proud to reach this level of safety performance. Operations Projects Department has achieved 26m man hours without a Lost Time Incident since inception, and the challenge is to keep up such great safety culture and performance,” he said.
“RasGas received the award because of its tremendous safety performance, and most importantly, for creating a world-class safety culture that makes this level of success sustainable,” said Parker.
“We congratulate everyone at RasGas, including its operators, contractors, support staff and leadership, on this recognition.”
RasGas Operations Projects Organisation achieved world class performance with regard to recordable project incidents in 2013 with 4.4m project work hours.
RasGas was selected based on outstanding attributes in safety performance, including leadership commitment to projects, contractor-culture of caring, workforce involvement, and engagement through programmes such as B-Safe.
