HSE & Environmental Management

No activity is so urgent that it cannot be done safely. Our HSE policy applies to every person, site and partner.

Our HSE policy

Goal zero: no harm to people, no damage to the environment

EGAS is committed to conducting all its operations in a manner that protects the health and safety of its people, the communities it serves and the environment.

We enforce strict standards across exploration, production, processing, transmission and distribution, in compliance with Egyptian law — including the Environment Law No. 4 of 1994 — and international best practice. Every contractor and joint venture is held to the same standard.

Our HSE management systems follow the plan–do–check–act model of international standards such as ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.

Principles

Our HSE principles

Leadership accountability

Line managers own HSE performance and lead by example.

Risk management

Hazards are identified, assessed and controlled before work starts.

Competence & training

Only trained, authorised people perform safety-critical tasks.

Stop-work authority

Anyone can stop unsafe work without fear of consequences.

Learning from incidents

Every incident and near miss is investigated and lessons are shared.

Environmental protection

Minimise emissions, flaring, waste and impact on biodiversity.

Management system

A continuous-improvement cycle

Step 1

Policy & leadership

Top management sets HSE policy, objectives and clear responsibilities.

Step 2

Planning & risk assessment

Hazards, environmental aspects and legal obligations are identified for every activity.

Step 3

Implementation & control

Procedures, permits, training and emergency plans put controls into practice.

Step 4

Monitoring & audit

Inspections, environmental monitoring and audits measure performance.

Step 5

Management review

Results are reviewed and lessons drive new objectives.

Standards in practice

Process safety

Permit-to-work on every site

Hot work, confined-space entry and lifting operations require a verified permit, a risk assessment and a competent supervisor.

Emergency response

Prepared for every scenario

Regular drills with civil defence and operators test response to leaks, fires and offshore incidents.

Impact assessment

Environmental approval before every project

New projects undergo an environmental impact assessment reviewed by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, with mitigation measures carried into design, construction and operation.

HSE questions

How our HSE requirements apply to partners and contractors.

Do HSE standards apply to joint ventures and contractors?

Yes. Joint ventures, operators and contractors working on EGAS assets must meet the same HSE requirements, and their performance is reviewed regularly.

How are incidents handled?

Every incident and near miss is reported, investigated to its root cause and followed by corrective actions; lessons are shared across the sector.

Which management standards do you follow?

Our systems are aligned with internationally recognised standards for environmental management (ISO 14001) and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001), together with Egyptian regulatory requirements.
