Environment (HSE)
MB Holding is a firm believer that the business should be
conducted in a manner so that it protects the health and safety
of its employees, contractors and society at large, and the
environment where it operates. The company believes that a good
HSE performance is paramount to its business and it is committed
to promote a culture in which all employees realise the need to
look after themselves, the safety of the people around them and
in protecting the environment around them.
To ensure sound HSE practices and guidelines, MB Holding employs
experienced and qualified HSE professionals in each of its
subsidiaries to educate and train the employees to maintain the
prescribed HSE norms and discipline as an integral part of the
business process.
MB Holding empowers all employees:
Environment
Awareness, Responsibility and Protection
MB Holding is dedicated to high standards of environment
protection and pollution prevention. A disciplined and committed
approach towards environment safety is well demonstrated in all
its business processes and operations. The guiding motto is to
be proactive (prevention) rather than reactive.
Oilfield operations are carefully pre-planned and managed with
primary emphasis on good house keeping, regulated waste
disposal, careful chemical handling and recording of usage,
immediate and accurate clean-up of any spillage, and restoration
of the site at the conclusion of activities.
MB Holding pro-actively cooperates with clients and government
authorities to ensure that drilling, production and mining
operations are in conformance with Documented Waste Management
Programmes and adheres to environment protection standards.
Audits involving third parties are also frequently initiated and
often conducted jointly with operators and host country
authorities.
To ensure proper and appropriate development occurs in Oman and
elsewhere globally, MB Holding Company (MBHC) endorses the
concept that communication with project stakeholders is an
essential component of any environmental and socio-economic
assessment process and development of an Environmental and
Social Management Plan to enhance positive impacts and to
mitigate negative impacts.
MBHC is committed to pro-active and ongoing communication with
all agencies, organizations, and individuals with an interest in
development of its projects.
A Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan (PCDP) outlines and
documents MB Holding’s consultation and disclosure practices for
activities occurring during:
The goal of this
Process is to ensure adequate information is provided to
project-affected people and other stakeholders in a timely
manner, and that these groups are provided sufficient
opportunity to voice their concerns and opinions that can
influence Project decisions. And that the approach gives
recognition to and is carried out in a manner consistent with
local cultural norms of the area and of the country within which
we operate.
The PCDP is a tool for managing communications between MB
Holding, its subsidiary companies and stakeholders. The PCDP
aims to improve and facilitate decision making and create an
atmosphere of understanding that actively involves individuals,
groups, and organizations that can affect, or be affected by,
development of a Project. Emphasis of the Plan is to document
implementation of a formal program in an objective, simple
manner to focus efforts on improving communications between MB
Holding its subsidiaries and other interested parties.
Monitoring and evaluation of program results and behavior of the
respective parties will enable evolution and improvements to
specific programs over time.
