Bapco successfully completes Safety Stand Down

Manama

The Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) conducted on Thursday a safety ‘stand down’ procedure over its entire spectrum of operations in the presence of all Bapco and Contractor employees, explaining various safety procedures briefly yet informatively. 

Commenting on the occasion, Bapco’s Deputy Chief Executive and Chairman of Environment, Health and Safety EHS Committee Ebrahim Talib said: 

“The ‘stand down’ referred to the injuries which took place over recent times, and emphasized that employees would strive to implement necessary safety tools to limit them.” “The fundamental purpose of this procedure is to urge company employees to underline root causes of incidents and injuries, and enhance safety procedures in various work sites in the company.” 

He said that the safety ‘stand down’ falls under the global practices applicable in major industrial enterprises worldwide in order to improve readiness prior to the occurrence of major accidents.
