HOW WE WORK

Expert delegates and executives of the region work in cooperation in the Technical Committees and Working Groups, forming the engine of the Association to carry forward its strategic lines.

  • They develop work processes for continuous improvement based on the exchange of best practices and knowledge in discussion forums.
  • With unfolding innovations, they develop and edit Guides and Manuals that provide a basis for member companies to enrich their business models.
  • They contribute to provide training and the technical support required by member companies in the implementation of best practices.
  • They provide information to conduct benchmarking studies, whose purpose is to measure and compare the improvement in the performance of member companies.

Created in 1991.

The work of this Committee cuts across upstream and downstream operations and is centered on occupational health and prevention of accidents in the workplace, on the integrity of operations, and on the continuous improvement of environmental management performance - with special attention to oil spill preparedness and response.

Its focuses on identifying new issues and challenges regarding health, safety and environment, working together to assess potential impacts on the industry and developing regional strategies to address them. Additionally, the Committee develops and promotes best practices in management systems, contributes towards the required training and compiles annual statistics on safety performance, and prepares a full environmental benchmarking report for its members.

 

  • “We are the strategic partners and agents of change in the oil, gas and biofuel sector. We lead and promote the development and strengthening of the preventive culture in safety, health and environment in Latin America. This is possible through the exchange and expansion of collective knowledge and transfers of good practices with the aim of generating synergies that create shared value among members and achieve world class, reliable, safe and environmentally efficient operations.”

    Carlos Alberto Centurion , Chairperson, Health, Safety and Environment ARPEL Committee

“Thanks to the active participation of each delegate in the Committee and in the Project Teams, member companies exchange best practices, lessons learned to improve their performance in three key issues for the sector: Health, Safety and Environment. Since its creation in the early 1990s, we have maintained our commitment and kept on working together to enhance knowledge and thus achieve operational excellence: zero accidents; mitigation of environmental impacts, and promotion of healthy working environments."
