HEALTH SAFETY SECURITY ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY

West Indian Energy Group Ltd.'s HSSEQ department was created as just one of many initiatives aimed towards assisting in the delivery of the Company's vital mandates, through the development and implementation of an HSSEQ Management System of International Standards. It was recognized that HSSEQ will be a continuous challenge and a gradual process, beacause of this a strategic Goal Plan was developed for the HSSEQ department which includes the following core areas of activity:

• Continuous development and implementation of HSSEQ Policy Framework.
• Risk Control (HSSEQ Auditing and Risk Assessment of systems, processes and behaviours).
• HSSEQ Training (including employee and contractor orientation).
• Development and implementation of HSSEQ Communication plans and protocols.
• Enforcement of HSSEQ compliance by WIEGL and its contractors.
• Environmental compliance.
• Attainment of industry required certification.

In 2003/04 The Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago received complaints from member companies about the challenges they face to meet the range of health, safety and environmental (HSE) requirements amongst major oil and gas operating companies. This resulted in the Chamber's development of the Safe To Work (STOW) project. A proposal identifying the need for consensus on the HSE requirements to prequalify service contractors across Trinidad and Tobago's energy industry.
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago through the Ministry of Labour, the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Authority and the Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards supports STOW.

Ahead of the extended 2014 December deadline, West Indian Energy Group has completed the application process and achieved a 2 year certification!

We are determined to achieve the highest standards in health, safety, security, environment and quality (HSSEQ) performance and intend to continue strengthening our position as a leader in safe and compliant onshore operations in Trinidad and Tobago.
Safety for our people, our communities and the environment takes priority on every project. We are committed to implementing dynamic and robust HSSEQ programmes, as well as cultivating an organisational culture committed to superior HSSEQ performance.
