Health and Safety Sector

 
Health and safety have continued to be priority issues for the Nigeria oil and gas industry, as they are germane to the sector’s overall success.
 

In the Nigerian context, the need to reinforce health and safety management (HSM) issues is exemplified from the unsavory recurrent reports of plane crashes in the aviation industry, high rates of motor vehicle accidents, numerous cases of death due to poisoning in the solid mineral sector, frequent accounts of disasters in the petroleum sector arising from oil spills, pipeline vandalism as well as accidents involving petroleum tankers.
 

More effective and efficient management of these issues is a sine qua non to the industrialization efforts of an economy. Against the background of extant HS legislation in Nigeria, some reasons for the frequent violations of operational health and safety (OHS) standards and norms by the operators were identified as bribery and corruption in the system, the ‘Nigerian Factor’, inadequate funding of monitoring institutions, low level of education of employees as well as problems of persistent unemployment in the country.
 

While recommending ways to mitigate the OHS flaws in Nigerian institutions, the relative duties and responsibilities of stakeholders in the OHS business were identified. From the foregoing, it is obvious that the responsibility is on management to prevent accidents and eliminate health and safety hazards in order to minimize the suffering of the employees and by so doing to minimize their own loss.
 

These is the core values of Juotronics Technical Services Ltd and the reason why we operate in this sector to ensure that your working environment is efficiently protected and safe.
