ADNOC takes the utmost care to prevent incidents and we relentlessly pursue an injury and illness-free workplace. We have mandatory requirements in place to ensure timely notification, investigation and reporting of all HSE incidents so that we learn from them and can avoid recurrence. We adopt a hurt-free approach which means we look at what happened during an incident and assess what could have happened, to help inform mitigation measures. The selection of contractors is based on a detailed review to ensure that they have the necessary HSEMS, organization, values, leadership, culture, resources, capability and communication to undertake the scope of work in a safe, sustainable and responsible manner. We conduct Health, Safety and Environmental Impact Assessments (HSEIAs) in accordance with relevant regulations, standards, and company requirements throughout a projects lifecycle. These assessments identify potential hazards and impacts and they inform decision-making on adequate control measures to manage and mitigate risk. Each ADNOC Group company has an obligation to record, manage and report all incidents, regardless of the incident location or cause. We report and classify incidents affecting employees, suppliers and third party and reportable contractors to better understand work-related injuries and illnesses and their causes. We conduct regular HSEMS audits across ADNOC to ensure compliance with HSEMS requirements. We also conduct audits focused on worker welfare. Since 2022, a total of 192 locations have been audited to ensure we are effectively managing worker welfare. 83 Energy for Life
