Measures
Taken by
Waha Oil
Company
-
All
incidents
are
reported
and
investigated
including

misses
(we
believe
that
by
fixing
the
small
things
we
can
prevent
the
bigger
things
happening)

Incident
investigation

discover
root
causes
and
follow-up

allow
corrective/remedial
action
to
be
taken.

All the

can
easily
go to
for
immediate
treatment
ranging
from
minor
cuts and
abrasions
to
serious
lacerations.
First-aid
kits and

medicines
are
always in

Sometimes
a

Oil

is
necessary
for the
more
serious
cases.
