The identification of health hazards and the assessment of associated risks are an integral part of the GASCO HSE MS. This approach is also applied in the field of occupational health, where high noise levels, heat stress and potential contact with hazardous chemicals may exist in the work place. By identifying the risks posed by such hazards, suitable controls are established in order to minimize any possible impact.
Examples can be found in the elimination of hazardous chemicals at Habshan and improvements in Asab, Bab, Bu Hasa and Ruwais.
Standards of food preparation have also been enhanced with new catering facilities at Buhasa and Ruwais, and ADNOC hygiene inspectors have been carrying out regular visists to contractor’s camps and food preparation areas to ensure that GASCO’s HSE policies are being followed to the letter. Action is on hand for implementing HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Points Control) programme in the catering facilities.
Health awareness programmes have been established at Head Office and at field sites, during which employees have had the opportunity to discuss various aspects of their lifestyles which may be causing concern. A series of lectures has also been given staff practical information on ways to improve their health..
A major area of thrust has been to improve the health awareness of employees and their families through the publication of a series of booklets under the theme “Take Care of Your Heart”.
These booklets are available for download from the links below, in 
pdf format.
