Health, Safety, Environment and Community
ROC is committed to operating safely and responsibly.
The management of health, safety, environment and community matters is an integral part of every ROC manager’s role with specialist support provided by internal and external experts. The ROC Health, Safety and Environment Policy establishes the responsibilities, standards and the framework for managing these issues within ROC.
Corporate HSE Policy
Health and Safety
ROC plans and manages its activities so that the associated occupational risks are contained to the lowest practical level and all of its worksites are safe and healthy places of work.
ROC recognises that it operates in an industry that must confront numerous health and safety risks to employees, neighbours and contractors. It has developed systems and procedures to contain and control these risks. While ROC's Safety Management System is rigorous and comprehensive, it also accommodates the different regulatory regimes that ROC operates in around the world.
Environment
In its field activities, ROC plans to restrict its environmental footprint to impacts that are both local and temporary. As with its health and safety management, ROC has developed formal systems and procedures to identify potential impacts that may be associated with each exploration or production project and to contain and control any matters to the most practical extent.
The standard of environmental performance that governments require of petroleum operators varies considerably around the world. While ROC always recognises and commits to the standards that are applied, in jurisdictions where environmental requirements are not well defined, ROC operates so that any impacts are contained to a level permitted by Australian regulations.
Community
ROC recognises that wherever it operates there will be people with legal, economic and emotional ties to the area. It seeks to engage and deal openly with community and personal interests in a sensitive, just and equitable way. ROC sees that it should not only be a good neighbour, but that it must also be a responsible local citizen in areas such as employment, local expenditure, training and support of local community initiatives.
