Industrial Safety
Our employees demonstrate consistently high preparedness for emergencies.
Industrial safety is the state of protection of individuals and legal entities, the environment and objects from the harmful effects of hazardous production factors. This definition of this most important factor in the life of any enterprise is given by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Civil Protection”. It is an objective fact that any industrial production carries a certain degree of risk of injury to its workers and a certain level of threat to the environment and the population of the territories.
Ensuring industrial safety is of great importance for the oil and gas sector of the economy. The process of oil and gas production itself is associated with actions that require special attention to safety measures and constant monitoring of the work activities of specialists at the field site. A wide variety of man-made risks are also present in the processes of processing, storage and transportation of hydrocarbons. For this reason, all processes in the fields require constant attention and monitoring by the relevant services and, of course, strict compliance with all safety requirements by workers involved in the industrial cycle.
The safety of employees of Aktau Oil Field Company, Refinery LLP at all company facilities is an indisputable priority of the Company’s policy at any stage of production and economic activity. All measures to protect the health and life of personnel during work activities, approved by the legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan, are strictly observed. Despite the antiviral quarantine measures of 2020-2022, drills to eliminate man-made accidents, drills and daily emergency drills are regularly held at the industrial facilities of the Joint Stock Company.
Exercises are regularly held on the territory of the Zhanazhol oil and gas processing complex. At such exercises, the actions of emergency services and rescuers are practiced in the event of a possible rupture of gas pipelines, depressurization of flange connections on the source gas storage tank (gas separator) and on the gas inlet and outlet lines. Exercises are also being carried out aimed at eliminating the consequences of the expected depressurization of apparatus and pipelines. At the field facilities of Aktau Oil Field Company, Refinery LLP, “alarm drills” and routine emergency drills are carried out. The number of emergency exercises, alarms and trainings once again confirms the coherence of the actions of specialists involved in the industrial safety system, and also illustrates the level of attention of the Company’s management to all activities aimed at increasing the readiness of personnel for emergency situations.
Theoretical skills in the field of Civil Defense are regularly practiced. During the exercises, issues of transferring the civil defense system from a peaceful to a martial law are being worked out.
Civil defense and emergency specialists of Aktau Oil Field Company, Refinery LLP annually take part in the republican command and staff exercises “Kys” and “Koktem”, organized in the Aktobe region by the State Department of Emergency Situations. The regional emergency response team is put on alert, which includes the rescue team of Aktau Oil Field Company, Refinery LLP of 50 people, formed from employees of UAMS, NGDU ON, UPTOiKO, UAEN, USNiNP and UOPiT (structural divisions of the Company). The team of oil rescue workers invariably demonstrates at joint exercises a high degree of equipment, professionalism and efficiency, which are so necessary in cases of industrial and natural threats to the population of the Aktobe region. For these qualities and achievements, our rescuers have been repeatedly rewarded by the leadership of the region and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
