Occupational health Occupational health addresses the holistic well-being of our workforce, encompassing both physical and psychological aspects related to their work and environment. Our Occupational Health Management Manual outlines the essential protocols for the proactive management of occupational health risks. Dedicated awareness campaigns are strategically implemented in an effort to mitigate or prevent exposure to health hazards, guided by audit insights and risk evaluations. These encompass annual initiatives such as the Beat the Heat, Noise Exposure, and Respiratory Protection Awareness campaigns. In 2024, a Food Safety Awareness Campaign was initiated to enhance hygiene practices across operational sites. Informational material, including posters, pocket cards, and videos, were disseminated across Group companies to educate employees about potential health risks. If an incident does occur, a comprehensive investigation is expected to be carried out in accordance with ADNOC’s incident management standard. In 2024, four occupational health illness incidents related to heat stress were recorded across ADNOC.
