PV Gas SE’s conference on safety – health - environment
On June 8, 2013, PetroVietnam Gas South East Transmission Company (PV GAS SE) – a subsidiary of PV GAS- held the Conference on Safety – Health – Environment at Phan Thiet city, Binh Thuan province. The conference assessed results of PV GAS SE’s safety, health, and environment tasks in 2012 and identified existing problems, causes, experience and lessons in order to propose objectives and orientation in 2013 and beyond. The conference was also an opportunity for PV GAS SE’s divisions and related units of PV Gas to exchange and share experiences on safety – health – environment tasks.
In 2012 and the first months of 2013, PV GAS SE’s production activities were maintained safe, without any labor accidents, or any incidents affecting the environment, and especially without any problems causing gas flow stop. The station and pipeline systems were 100% available, the control and implementation of preventative and unscheduled maintenance and repair tasks were completed on schedule, representing 100% works of preventative maintenance and repair and 98.5% works of unscheduled maintenance and repair. The company also received 7,451.8 million m3 of wet gas, representing 100.02% of the plan, and consumed 7,271.4 million m3 of dry gas, representing 100.11% of the plan.
To achieve above results, PV GAS SE leaders have provided strict instructions and applied multiple synchronous solutions, with PV Gas prompt guidance and collaboration and support of local government and units at all levels. In particular, it is important to mention the role and sense of responsibility of each employee. This was a key factor in ensuring safety of gas works. PV GAS SE has regularly organized training, testing, and evaluation of employees’ professional skills and knowledge, with high attention given to preparing and training key staffs in the safety – quality – environment management system; strengthening inspection and monitoring of compliance with safety – health – environment regulations, especially the works and production and business activities with high potential risks in safety, environment, and fire prevention and fighting. The propaganda activities as well as the coordinated support of residents at places where gas works are located also have played an important role in safety – fire prevention and fighting tasks.
In 2013, PV GAS SE keeps following PV Gas leaders’ guidance and Specialized Divisions support in the effective and efficient implementation of safety – quality – environment management system (OHSAS 18001-2007; ISO 9001-2008; ISO 14001-2004); closely coordinating with local authorities, police, border guards in propagation, patrol and protection of security and safety for gas works; preparing and implementing the training courses on safety to improve employees’ knowledge and skills in safety control, especially safety control for contractors. PV GAS SE also emphasizes on its regular and close coordination with gas field owners, Vietsovpetro as partner, and customers in monitoring the operation, maintenance and repair, managing the safety of offshore/onshore equipment systems, and receiving the maximum gas volume brought onshore.
