Operational safety, personal health, environmental protection, and social responsibility are priorities within all of QGEP’s activities. The social and environmental impacts of projects are assessed and managed by establishing targets and goals, which are continuously reviewed and enhanced.
QGEP has an Integrated Management System (Sistema de Gestão Integrado – SGI), which follows the principles of International Standards Organization (SGI) standards and ANP’s Technical Regulations of the Operational Safety Management System (Sistema de Gerenciamento de Segurança Operacional – SGSO), among others. This management model is important in order to achieve the highest standards in matters involving operational safety and the impacts that activities could have on the environment and communities.
A commission comprised of senior management and led by the director-general of QGEP is responsible for the SGI, with the mission of supervising and managing environmental matters, matters of operational safety, occupational health, quality and social responsibility. One of the Company’s goals that was achieved in 2013 was the restructuring of a committee to manage incidents based on the Incident Command System (ICS). This structure involves employees from various operational and support areas – such as Health, Environment, and Safety (HSE), Logistics, Communications, Human Resources, Legal, and others – to provide responses and create plans of action in the event of an emergency.
