Oil and Gas Industry - EWG Workplace Health and Safety

WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY

The Health and Safety of our people is our first priority. The Protection of our Environment and Community is also of the utmost importance.

The oil and gas well servicing industry requires a strict adherence to safety codes and regulations. A stringent Safety Management System has guided Easternwell and their employees to achieve an extremely high industry standard in health, safety and environmental management and an exemplary safety record.

Safety Objectives:

• To ensure that zero lost time caused by injury is maintained throughout 2005 - 2006.
• To reduce the number of injuries and incidents to zero.
• To ensure higher action on non-recordable incidents.

Our HSE Manager is dedicated to the integration of these objectives into the EWG Safety Management System at all levels. Mr. Doug Watson is responsible for the overall development and implementation of the system's plans, strategies, programs and the co-ordination of the safety management team which includes 5 Field Safety Advisors.

The EWG Safety Management System encompasses all health and safety legislative requirements and standards that are specifically orientated to the industry. The system is segmented into specific strategic plans, training programs and procedural manuals that are observed by all employees, contractors and clients.

System Manuals and Plans cover all aspects of Best Practice standards:

• Detailed site instructions
• Inspections
• Auditing
• Emergency Response Procedures and Drills
• Hazard Identification, Analysis and Elimination
• Safety Meetings
• Checklists
• Travel Management
• Inductions and Training
• Permits to Work

Our extensive training programs and commitment to Health & Safety allows us to provide a high level of performance and safe worksites.

The Environment:

We are steadfast in our commitment to environmental protection and lightening our footprint. Our operations are carefully pre-planned and managed with primary emphasis on good housekeeping, regulated waste disposal, appropriate chemical handling, correct clean-up of any spillage, and restoration of site at operation conclusion. EWG strives to continually improve the level of occupational health and safety standards in all operations and in all areas of the industry.
