CNOOC has established a health and safety system operating to international standards to ensure staff occupational health and production safety; this is regarded as part of corporate social responsibility.
To achieve the strategic goal of sustainable development, CNOOC strives for clean and safe development. Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HSE) Philosophy is:
1. Sound HSE performance is one of the foundations for the company's growth and development,
2. Ensuring economic return, HSE management is also our commitment to social responsibility,
3. Put people at the first place and regard employees as our most valuable resource and asset,
4. With set objectives, implementation is important,
5. Conduct systematic management and continuous improvement with the motto "We can always do it better",
6. Promote the "5 No Works" safety rules, focus on details, manage risks to an acceptable level,
7. Manage contractors and share information and experience to achieve Win-Win cooperation,
8. Endeavor to use clean and harmless materials and energy, and protect environment and natural resources,
9. Comply with laws, regulations and industrial standards, and strive for HSE excellence,
10. HSE performance mirrors the comprehensive quality of a company.
In 2006, CNOOC launched the 5 "No works" campaign. The 5 "No Works" outlines the DOs and DON'Ts to minimize risks in the workplace. They are:
1. No work before fully aware of the hazards,
2. No work before all control measures are in place,
3. No work before all modes of protection are ready,
4. No work before the environment is safe, and
5. No work when there is lack of skill/experience
The implementation of the 5 "No works" has become an important guide for all units of CNOOC.
During 2007, CNOOC revised its document on Health, Safety and Environment Management Concept, emphasizing continual improvement of safety development, social and environmental concerns. This has been assimilated with the essence of the Scientific Concept of Development as well as the "5 No Works" concept and contractors' management. This document demonstrates CNOOC's greater efforts in the implementation of HSE management system, enhancing risk control and the management of contractors as part of its social responsibility.
CNOOC pays much attention to the management and training for occupational health, strengthens the supervision and monitoring of occupational safety and the promotion of healthy life styles of its employees. Besides continuously enhancing the management of production safety on site, CNOOC also pays great attention to the education and management of employee safety after work, gives much concern for the driving safety and mental health of its employees. CNOOC provides related training and safety education for its employees.
In 2009, almost all our offshore platforms were equipped with medical facilities and medical staff according to relevant regulations. Occupational health evaluation was strictly carried out, a psychological assistance program was introduced for major accidents, and 3 programs of psychological crisis intervention training were organized.
In 2009, CNOOC defined priorities and developed its work plan based on risk identification and evaluation, in order to maintain good safety performance. In 2009, CNOOC issued regulations on rectification and follow-up of safety hazards, the selection of qualified diving service contractors, and safety permits for hazardous chemicals. HSE inspections were carried out in 38 subsidiaries whose businesses involve hazardous chemicals. The Group requested all subsidiaries to control potential hazards within a time limit, and supervised the rectification of 10 major safety hazardous projects, thus effectively preventing major accidents.
CNOOC further strengthened its contractor safety management, carried out an annual safety inspection on helicopters, assessed 14 diving service contractors in accordance with international standards, and announced which of the diving contractors were unqualified.
The Company established a dynamic information network for personnel involved in overseas projects and provided strong support for any overseas emergency response. In 2009, CNOOC actively promoted the construction and improvement of an emergency management system, especially the emergency management information system, in all subsidiaries. This enabled the interconnection and rapid information transfer between emergency centers at all levels in case of emergency. The Company promoted the application of a dynamic tracking and management system for ships and a real-time tracking system for staff at sea, and also promoted the construction of a three-dimensional emergency platform.
As a major energy producer in China, CNOOC never forget its environment protection responsibility. CNOOC is mindful of its environment protection and pollutant treatment both onshore and offshore to minimize the impact of its production on the environment, and follow the concept of zero emission in each project.
CNOOC has consistently emphasized the preparation of a sound oil spill response. China Offshore Environmental Service Ltd. (COES), a subsidiary of CNOOC, is the first specialized company in China that possesses Class 2 oil spill emergency handling capability. COES has set up oil spill response bases in Tanggu, Longkou, Weizhou, Zhuhai and Suizhong. With continuous improvement in its marine oil spill emergency handling capability, COES plays an important role in dealing with marine oil spill emergency in offshore China.
