Health, Safety, Sustainability and Environment
HSSE is of the highest importance to us at Kuwait Energy. We have developed best practice health and safety
policies and procedures to ensure an efficient, safe working environment for all our employees at both our
operated and non-operated assets.
Where Kuwait Energy is the operator, we apply and closely monitor HSSE standards in all fields, with risk
control measures in place to ensure incident-free operations. At assets where we are not the operator, we
closely monitor our joint venture partners’ performance and adherence to HSSE policies and procedures.
