I am very proud that implementing safe work behaviors is an ongoing focus in RasGas,” he said, addressing a special ceremony held at Al Waha Club, Al Khor to mark the occasion.
“Since our offshore support operations began 17 years ago our Shorebase team has sustained all offshore production and drilling activities efficiently without a Lost Time Incident. This has been made possible through continuous commitment in following RasGas’ safety strategies, systems and processes in daily work,” said Al Mohannadi.
“RasGas is indeed a trendsetter in safety. The Shorebase team comes to work every day knowing that their commitment to safety is a daily task. It has demonstrated that our ultimate goal of an incident-free workplace is achievable,” said Atef Al-Mohsin, Offshore Asset Manager.
