Process
Safety means acting
responsibly
at every stage
of what we do.
It is about ensuring that operations run safely, protecting people, the environment and the company’s assets.
Safety is a priority
It is present in our daily lives, in our decisions and in our culture.
At PRIO, we know that working in the oil and gas sector requires full attention to risks. Accordingly, all our processes are designed to prevent incidents such as leaks, fires or explosions and to keep our operations under control.
This care begins with planning and continues through to execution, with a focus on preventing failures and acting quickly whenever something goes wrong.
We apply strict safety practices at all stages of the operation, and this involves:
Constant analysis of risks and protective barriers
Strict change control
Equipment inspection and maintenance
Continuous training for those on land and at sea
At PRIO, everyone has the authority
to stop unsafe work. Because safety is everyone’s responsibility.
A team that works together, from onshore to offshore
We have structures dedicated to both safety fronts: occupational and processes. Although they have different focuses, these areas work together with a common goal: keep our people and operations safe.
Our operational units have onboard professionals working in environment, health and safety, and the entire team is supported by the corporate base in Rio de Janeiro.
Moreover, the automation of critical monitoring steps has brought more agility and precision to prevent and correct faults in real time.
Our Process Safety Fundamentals
To ensure increasingly safe operations, we have adopted 11 fundamentals inspired by the best international practices in the oil and gas industry and adapted to PRIO’s reality.
Respect the dangers
Manage safety barriers
Keep operational limits
Controlling changes
Follow the procedures
Report and address any incidents
Control ignition sources
Inspect the facilities daily
Monitor inhibitions of critical systems
Identify vulnerabilities
Learn from experiences
These principles are the basis of our culture of prevention and are reinforced every day through training, internal campaigns and actions with the teams.
Process safety is also about taking care of the mechanical side of operations
Following mechanical safety guidelines is essential to avoid accidents and protect lives.
At PRIO, we take a practical approach to ensuring this care:
Rigorous inspection before each critical activity
Control of ignition sources
Integrity of our assets and operations within operational limits
Risk management specialists
All of this is integrated into our Risk Management program, which connects our risk matrix to asset analysis, ensuring a safer environment.
Occupational safety:
taking care of those who make it all happen
At PRIO, safety is also about being there for people, ensuring that each employee has the ideal conditions to work well and return home safely.
Occupational safety is about preventing accidents, promoting health and creating an environment where everyone feels part of the care. For us, safety goes far beyond the procedure: it is part of our way of working, with responsibility and attention daily.
