Health and Safety

The success of our business is aligned with the health and safety of our people. 

Over 16,000,000 man-hours without LTI (Lost Time Injury)

Our safety policies and strategies extend to every aspect of our operations, and to those who work and interact with us. We consistently analyse and improve all our safety measures while complying with applicable national and international regulations.

In recognition of our impeccable safety practices and record, we were ranked first in Nigeria, second in Africa and ninth globally in a 2013 ExxonMobil survey.

Our strategic partnership with marine safety companies enables us to maintain the integrity of all our safety equipment and preparedness for emergency response.
