Qatargas marks new safety milestone

The Qatargas Jetty Boil-off Gas Recovery (JBOG) Project recently achieved a major safety milestone, completing ten million man-hours without any lost time injury (LTI).
Nearly 3,000 people from around the world are working on this crucial project, which aims to recover gas currently being flared during Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ship loading at the Port of Ras Laffan.
Sheikh Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Qatargas CEO, said: “Safety is a core value in Qatargas and an integral part of our culture at every level. I would like to commend all those who were involved in this achievement, which is a true testament to the commitment and dedication of the project team and the contractors to embrace the strong safety culture spread across our organization. Our aim is to ensure that everyone goes home safely, every day.”
Sheikh Khalid Bin Abdulla Al-Thani, Qatargas’ chief operating officer, engineering and ventures, said: “Ten million man-hours without LTI is a remarkable milestone for the JBOG project, reflecting our commitment to ensuring that the safety of our people remains our highest priority. Our Incident and Injury Free (IIF) program, which has improved the safety behavior of everybody on the project has been a major contributing factor toward this achievement. The JBOG Project has created a culture in which safety is a core value, shared by us and all our contractors. Congratulations to the project team on this outstanding achievement.”
Bashir Mirza, JBOG Project manager, said: “This accomplishment is all the more satisfying because it spans nearly three years. Our teams are continuing to build a strong safety and Incident and Injury Free culture within the JBOG Project which makes people look after each other to ensure that Everybody Goes Home Safely, day in and day out.”
