GE Sees Safety Milestone in Onne

Monday, May 4, 2015

GE saw a milestone at its oil and gas facility at Onne in Nigeria’s Rivers State with its exceptional safety record. In the last 10 years of operations, GE has not had any safety incidents at its Onne facility resulting in lost work time for any of the technicians, engineers, or other personnel working in the facility.

Derek Christie, Regional Services Manager for the Onne facility, said, “This achievement was due to GE’s outstanding Environmental Health and Safety standards and all the employees at Onne that make quality and safety an integral part of how they operate on a daily basis.”

In recognition of this achievement, GE received a “Meritorious Safety Performance Award,” which is an award that SNEPCO awards to its partners that prioritize safety in their operations. SPEPCO’s Head of Subsea Intervention, AwwalAbubakar, who spoke at a brief ceremony commended GE’s remarkable safety standards, which he said aligns with Shell’s corporate policy of “Safety First.”
