Health, Safety, Sustainability And Environment
HSSE is of the highest importance to us at Kuwait Energy. We have established best practice health and safety policies
and procedures to ensure an efficient, safe working environment for all our employees at both our operated and
non-operated assets.
Where Kuwait Energy is the operator, we apply and closely monitor HSSE standards in all fields, as well as risk control
measures to ensure incident-free operations. At assets where we are not the operator, we closely monitor our joint
venture partners’ performance and adherence to HSSE policies and procedures.
In 2015, Kuwait Energy’s Lost Time Incidents Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is 0.35 and Total Recordable Incident Frequency
Rate (TRIFR) is 0.52 which is well below the Oil and Gas Producers 2014 average rates of 0.45 and 1.6 respectively.

An increased positive health and safety culture and performance at all operated felds and offices:
