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.

“The ARPEL Health, Safety and Environment Committee has always been a key forum for the exchange of experiences, facilitating the implementation of HSE good practices by companies. Today we are addressing the new challenges of the oil and gas industry such as process safety, environmental emissions, the creation of healthy workplaces and the new frontiers of the industry"
