Safety is one of the fundamental criteria of CPC’s operations. All stages of the oil movement and tanker loading process, as well as support processes, are well tried and tested. Uninterrupted operation of the CPC pipeline is supported by highly qualified personnel and the most advanced control systems.
CPC can guarantee its shippers to move their crude oil in a reliable effective environmentally-safe manner.
The system incorporates all Russian and Kazakhstan legal requirements. Its structure allows to deploy the most advanced international developments in HSE.
In 2010 the CPC Health & Safety System that covers all types of operational activities in Kazakhstan and Russia was certified for compliance with BS OHSAS 18001:2007.
A year earlier, in 2009, CPC had successfully completed a certification audit of its environmental management system for compliance with the ISO 140001:2004 international environmental standard and received a corresponding certificate.
One of the key elements of the integrated safety system is making sure CPC and its contractor personnel are always ready for emergency response activities.
A multi-tier response system for response to potential accidents and emergencies on CPC sites includes non-organic CPC emergency & response teams, vehicles, equipment and emergency response contractor personnel, resources and equipment available from territorial subsystems of the Russian Emergency Prevention and Response System and regional emergency & rescue teams.
