It is the policy of PETRA ENERGY to
preserves the quality of the environment at
locations we are operating by maintaining
acceptable level of environment pollutants
and by managing waste generated from its
operations. This is to eliminate exposure of
hazardous waste to the environment, prevent
employees from being exposed unnecessary to
hazardous materials utilized or encountered
in the operations, and to proper handle and
dispose the waste as per regulatory and
local requirements.
Proper risk assessment exercises have been
carried out to identify all the
environmental pollutants out of PETRA
ENERGY's
operations, with controls adequately placed
either administratively via procedures,
using only environmental friendly materials
or by hardware installed to minimize
pollutants escaping to the environment.
Waste management procedure and guidelines
has been established to identify, classify,
segregate and disposal of waste according to
its nature and as per any relevant
regulatory and local authority requirements.
Waste minimisation process will normally be
based on current industry practices.
These procedures require all personnel
involved with the handling and disposing
work site waste have gone through the
necessary training with respect to the waste
being handled. These personnel are to be
provided with the relevant personal
protective equipment and tools required to
handle the said waste(s).
The person in-charge at the site where waste
are being generated will ensure waste are
managed properly including the arrangements
of waste handling and segregation, disposal
containers, transportation from the work
site, and appropriate documentation.
The registered contractor engaged by PETRA
ENERGY to collect the waste will ensure
all the wastes are properly stored in proper
containers with labels identifying the
content, transported safely to the nearest
Department of Environment approved hazardous
wastes disposal site.
