Stringent regulatory and fiscal regimes may also be making projects less attractive. Would the fast and changing regulatory environment become an impediment to sustained growth? This session would allow experts to share knowledge and regulatory experiences that could help nations and companies navigate the diverse challenges of operating in a unique context with environmental, safety, cultural and human rights issues.

11:00-13:00 Occupational Safety Technical Session – Ballroom II Session Chairperson(s): Philomina Donkor, GNPC and Beatrice Spaine, Shell Studies and experiences have shown that bad occupational safety practices in the work place decrease workers performance leading to decline in productivity thereby affecting the company as whole. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), reported for the year 2014/15 that 27.3 million working days were lost due to the work-related injuries and illness. In recent years, globalization of the world’s economies and its repercussions have been perceived as the greatest force for change in the world of work, and consequently in the scope of occupational safety and health, in both positive and negative ways. Liberalization of world trade, rapid technological progress, significant developments in transport and communication, shifting patterns of employment, changes in work organization practices, the different employment patterns of men and women, and the size, structure and life cycles of enterprises and of new technologies has generated new types and patterns of hazards, exposures and risks.It has therefore become essential for companies to implement and ensure the success of occupational safety programs in their various work places.

Capacity in Africa for handling and disposing of waste generated during exploration and development is severely constrained. Even in geographies where the oil and gas sector is well developed infrastructure and systems are few and far between. Operators have had to rely on their own resources and innovation to find ways to solve this complex issue.
