Highlights of HSE Month
By Lim Swee Yong, HSE & Low Fang Ling, Retail Sales, Marketing
In line with PetroChina’s Corporate HSE culture, we kicked off
this year’s HSE Month with a HSE Quiz competition on 3 June,
and followed by series of activities as showing below.
1. HSE Quiz
In 2013’s HSE Quiz competition, a total of 77 submissions were
received by the end of the closing date – the highest participation
rate since our first HSE quiz initiative in 2008. Among all the
participants, 61 of them scored above 80% and 21 of them won
prizes. The top award goes to Mr Melvin Tan of E&P, who scored
full marks.
1. Arrival of Brinks personnel 2. Robbers disguised as
customers
3. Robber attacking Brinks
personnel when he was about
to exit the station with cash
2. Security Emergency Response Drill
Marketing Retail Operations conducted a Security Emergency
Response Drill based on a robbery scenario at SPC Sengkang
Service Station on 17 June. The drill involved the Singapore Police
Force, Brinks Singapore Pte Ltd (service provider for collecting
cash from SPC service stations), petrol station networks and HSE
personnel.
The main objectives of this drill were to validate the Emergency
Response Procedure at SPC service stations when handling
a robbery, which involves site closure, customer and vendor
management, and evacuation; to heighten our staff’s awareness on
robbery; and to develop common understanding and coordination
efforts with the Singapore Police Force and Brinks.
The exercise gave us vast insights into how the authorities operate
and how we should react in an event of emergency.
Now then, let the pictures tell the story.

3. Facing the Haze Crisis
The trans-boundary smoke from the fires in Sumatra started
affecting Singapore on 13 June. It eventually caused the threehour
Pollution Standard Index (PSI) reading to hit a record high
of 401 on 21 June.
Keeping our commitment of fulfilling the “Safety First” HSE
policy, many measures were taken to minimize the health impact
from the terrible haze. We implemented our haze contingency plan
based on the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Manpower and
provided regular updates on health and safety advisories to all
staff. Numerous N95 respiratory masks were prepared (some were
air-freighted from our Head Office in Beijing) for both outdoor
service operation staff and indoor employees’ personal usage.
With all these efforts, we were able to ensure the health of every
colleague as well as prevent the disruption of essential services at
all our petrol stations, terminals and the Millenia Tower office.
5. Attending the OSRL Member Forum
On 12 June, Mr Lim Swee Yong, Senior Manager of HSE
Department participated in the Oil Spill Response Limited
(OSRL) Member Forum as an Authorized Personnel. OSRL is
funded by some 160 oil and energy companies, and has responded
to more than 350 oil spill incidents in the past 25 years. The
Forum provided us with the opportunity for active engagement,
a review of strategic industry projects and an update on OSRL’s
activities. It also gave us a chance to network and strengthen the
connections between OSRL members.
OSRL also organised a tour to showcase the Hercules aircraft that
is based at Seletar Airport, followed by an Open House in Loyang
on 14 June.
4. BCLS and AED Training Session
To further enhance the emergency response capability of our
employees, we engaged Raffles Medical Group to conduct two
one-day sessions of the Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) course on 6 and 13 June
respectively. All participants passed both the theory and practical
tests and are now certified to perform BCLS and AED procedures
for two years.
6. HSE Inspections by the Management Team
Our Management Team has been conducting regular HSE
inspections and visits at PST, JBP, petrol stations and other
commercial sites as part of a visible leadership commitment. As of
the end of June, our company has completed 38 inspections across
service stations, terminals and the Millenia Tower office.
