Workplace Safety & Health
Objectives
Protecting Lives, Ensuring Safer Work Environments
The oil, petroleum, and gas industry is one of the most hazardous sectors in the world. Workers face constant exposure to flammable materials, toxic chemicals, and high-risk environments such as offshore drilling sites. At NUSOP, we prioritize workplace safety and health, ensuring that every worker returns home safely at the end of the day.
Establishing and Enforcing Strict Safety Standards
The foundation of a safe workplace lies in the enforcement of rigorous safety protocols and compliance with health regulations.
- Adherence to Global Safety Standards – We push for strict compliance with international occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations, ensuring that Somali workers are protected by the same safety measures as their global counterparts.
- Implementation of Risk Assessments – We advocate for regular safety audits and risk assessments at every worksite to identify and mitigate potential hazards.
- Industry-Specific Safety Regulations – From drilling operations to transportation and storage, we develop industry-specific safety guidelines that address the unique risks associated with oil and gas work.
Building a Safety Culture Through Awareness and Training
A safe work environment is only possible when workers are well-informed about potential dangers and prepared to handle emergencies.
- Comprehensive Safety Training Programs – We organize training sessions on fire safety, hazardous material handling, first aid, and emergency response procedures.
- On-Site Emergency Response Teams – We push for the establishment of trained response teams at all major worksites, ensuring that accidents are handled swiftly and efficiently.
- Collaboration with International Safety Experts – By working with global safety organizations, we bring the latest advancements in protective equipment, technology, and safety procedures to Somali workplaces.
Through education, enforcement, and collaboration, NUSOP is dedicated to minimizing workplace accidents and ensuring that worker health and safety remains a top industry priority.
