Green Energy International Limited (GEIL) said it has achieved an exceptional safety milestone of four million man-hour without Lost Time Incident (LTI) since the commencement of operation in the field.
In response to the recent increase in Health Safety and Environment (HSE) incidents in the industry, Green Energy International Limited has developed and implemented a suite of key HSE improvement programmes in its area of operations.
Chukwuka Igbokwe, HSE General Manager of the Company praised the company for its efforts and the milestone achieved, emphasising that the company was proud of this achievement since most E&P Companies did not attain such man-hour exposure without a lost time incident (LTI).
He said the milestone meant a lot to everyone at the company and showed that people could work each day and throughout the life of the facility incident-free.
“GEIL will continue to work with all contractors to ensure an Incident-free environment where everyone is safe and comfortable to always express their perceptions to safety with a consciousness towards looking out for each other,” he said.
Professor Anthony Adegbulugbe, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated that “in as much as this figure is significant to us which statistically shows how safe our operation has been, we talk about safety, incidents, successes, and incident-Free performance by speaking about people and possibilities.”
He further explained that GEIL wanted to promote accomplishments in terms of what it made possible for its people and their families, not just because someone was happy to get an incentive having reached a particular metric.
Adegbulugbe emphasised that just as any other operator in the oil and gas industry, the company could not claim to have done everything right without challenges, but that GEIL could beat its chest that its incident and injury-free journey is on course – thanks to the well informed and supportive workforce and management.
