Working environment
A safe, healthy and productive working environment
The global oil and gas industry is working to secure a safe, productive and human-centered working environment, and a standard of welfare consistent with the level of technological and social development in the sector.
Human centered design is at the core of good working environment, based on the holistic balance of understanding the people (cognitive, physiology, psychology), managing the physical and the technical (design) and the organizational (processes) elements, within a complex environment.
A good working environment is a critical element that contributes towards safe and successful operations in the oil and gas industry influenced by high focus on cost and production regularity, heightened requirements for health and safety, and lower tolerability to work-related illness and accidents.
