HSE Policy Statement

SOCAR Midstream Operations (SMO) goal is to be a renowned and trusted leader in pipeline operations through the commitment and value we place on safety, the well-being of our employees and our respect for the environment. The leadership we have in place has created a culture that encourages our employees to make the right choices. SMO leadership sets clear expectations, observes, coaches and ultimately holds employees and contractors accountable for HSE performance. It is expected that line managers communicate, implement, and ensure compliance with HSE policies and standards.
