BNE: Safety at the Core

Belize Natural Energy has another video out, this time about safety at the workplace.  You might remeber that they won the 2013 GetEnergy Award for their Learning at the Core video.  In this video they explain their desire for safety, how every part of their process has a safety element, and how they are always looking to improve their safety standards.  It's great to see how closely their quality and safety are intertwined.  Thanks, BNE, for protecting our environment!

 

"One of the core values of Belize Natural Energy is to maintain a healthy and safe workplace, protect the environment and positively impact our communities.  Defining safety is simple.  Something is either safe or it's not. At Belize Natural Energy, we've made it a mission to create a culture of safety where no one gets hurt and nothing gets damaged."

'Learning at the Core' at BNE

You're got to hand it to Belize Natural Energy.  They've got over 200 employees, most all of whom are Belizeans, and they help them get a formal eduction.  This video explains that successful educational program.  Great way to give back to the employees, which, when you think about it, are what really makes a company.

 

"When Belize Natural Energy (BNE) struck oil in June, 2005 it became the first company to discover oil in commercial quantities in Belize. Since the oil industry was effectively non-existent in the country, all requisite infrastructure and expertise had to be imported; by January 2006, the company made the first ever shipment of locally produced crude oil. There have been many firsts at BNE, a company that has operated with the guidance of its mission to positively impact the Belizean people. BNE's Training and Development Programme is one such manifestation of its commitment to the country and its people."
