The management system of Safety, Health and Environment

The leading enterprise in Vietnam's gas industry

PV GAS strives for the development of the entire oil and gas industry.

To carry out the Mission, Vision, Core Values and Strategic Objectives of the Corporation, PV GAS establishes and maintains an integrated Safety – Quality – Environment management system in accordance with ISO 45001:2018, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.

Integrated Safety – Quality – Environment management system

  • ISO 45001:2018 Occupational health & safety

    Identifies risks to workers’ safety and health and sets control measures to protect workers and limit property damage, while complying with occupational health and safety law.

  • ISO 9001:2015 Quality management

    Establishes PV GAS’s operating processes and controls activities through process effectiveness indicators, with continual improvement to raise the quality of products and services for customers.

  • ISO 14001:2015 Environmental management

    Identifies environmental hazards in production and business activities and sets control measures to minimise environmental impact, while complying with environmental protection law.

Building the integrated management system

  1. 1999

    First Safety – Health – Environment Policy

    With the support of consultant Foster Wheeler, PV GAS issued the first version of its Safety – Health – Environment Policy.

  2. 2003

    Building the OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 systems

    PV GAS decided to build and apply the OHSAS 18001:1999 occupational health and safety system together with the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system.

  3. 2004

    Certified by TÜV RHEINLAND

    TÜV RHEINLAND, a leading German management-system certification body, assessed and certified PV GAS’s quality management system to ISO 9001:2000 and its occupational health and safety management system to the international standard OHSAS 18001:1999.

  4. 2009

    Adding ISO 14001 environmental management

    PV GAS added an ISO 14001:2005 environmental management system to control and reduce environmental impact, laying the groundwork for sustainable development. It was then integrated with OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO 9001:2000 into the integrated Safety – Quality – Environment management system.

  5. Now

    Maintained and continually updated

    The OHSAS 18001/ISO 45001 (No. OHS 547332), ISO 14001 (No. EMS 547230) and ISO 9001 (No. FM 547229) certificates are always updated to the latest versions, periodically assessed and maintained by reputable certification bodies. They also reflect PV GAS’s care for workers’ safety and health, its responsibility to the community for environmental protection, and its commitment to the rising expectations of stakeholders on quality, products and services.

PV GAS applies the “Three Lines” model to oversee and run risk management, identifying factors that may affect the Corporation’s mission, vision and strategic objectives, and taking measures to reduce threats and seize opportunities.

The “Three Lines” risk management model

  • First line Subsidiary units and the Executive Office

    They are the risk owners.

  • Second line Internal audit

    Supervises, checks and advises the first line.

  • Third line The Internal Control Board

    Reporting to the Board of Directors, it oversees the first and second lines.

Risk management is integrated into all of the Corporation’s production and business activities, carried out systematically and proactively to identify, assess and monitor risk across every aspect of PV GAS’s operations.

Process Safety Management system

  1. 2020

    Gap assessment

    PV GAS engaged a consultant to benchmark the existing Safety – Quality – Environment systems of the companies operating gas facilities against the requirements of a Process Safety Management system.

  2. 2021

    Implementation under CCPS guidance

    Based on the assessment, PV GAS built a Process Safety Management system following guidance from CCPS (The Center for Chemical Process Safety) for the gathering, transportation, processing, storage, distribution and trading of gas products and related services at operating units.
