In support of the World Day for Safety and Health at work, Total recently conducted an internal safety commitment campaign. 

The campaign spread awareness on how to be constantly vigilant and alert, and to show commitment for one’s own safety, the safety of fellow workers, team members, other site workers and family members, as well as to behave in a responsible and exemplary way. It was launched in Total’s Alfardan Tower offices, the Total Research Centre Qatar (TRCQ), Total’s warehouse, and on Halul Island, in association with Qatar Petroleum.

This initiative, which is a part of Total’s safety culture, focuses on educating people through presentations, videos, interviews, tests and discussions. The campaign’s motto is ‘Safety for me, for you, for all’. All  managers gave speeches on safety risk assessment and effectiveness of current policies and procedures for risk reduction, keeping in mind incidents that have occurred in the oil and gas industry. All of Total’s employees participated in this campaign.

Stephane Michel, Managing Director of Total E&P Qatar, and group representative, concluded the celebrations, saying: “Regardless of one’s industry, there is always the possibility of an accident with an impact on someone’s health. So attention to health and safety should be regarded as the first priority, no matter what”.
