Report
from Anneliese Katzenschläger / TÜV AUSTRIA Academy
Safety without barriers
Health – safety – environmental protection:
topics that move the OMV. 125 employees were recently trained with regard to
HSSE at the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy Vienna – knowledge transfer, but also
international understanding was at the forefront.
Company
philosophy requires highest logistical performance
Protecting the public, occupational health and
safety, plant and system safety and the conservation of resources are the
cornerstones of the OMV company policy.
In order to maintain these values, safety
processes and information structures are put into place, dangers are recognized
through risk management and risks are reduced. Data is collected and assessed
and flows back into the relevant work areas as a basis for decision making.
External clients (contractors) and their staff are also integrated into the
safety system.
The range of tasks is as varied as the people
involved. The logistics chain of complex tasks ranges from energy generation
and raw material storage and its transfer right through to processing and
preparation for market distribution. The challenge: The defined safety
standards must be kept under the most diverse of geographical and geological
conditions.
OMV
promotes oil and gas & employees
In addition, the high safety and environmental
requirement must be evaluated constantly. New employees in the area of
exploration & production are therefore integrated into the OMV safety
measures right from the start, and safety consciousness is consolidated through
training in the area of HSSE (health, safety, security, environment).
The training which is carried out at an
international level
serves the specialist exchange of
information in a large company, and incidentally, is also unifying.
This is highlighted by the courses at the TÜV
AUSTRIA Academy – parallel courses were organized because of the large number
of participants, colorfully mixing all participating nations and so uniting the
most diverse of national points of view; staff from Romania and Kazakhstan
through to Norway and Great Britain learn side-by-side how safety can be
strengthened in their work area, how to promote the health of all and how the
well-being of nature can be protected.
