This includes a pilot initiative to implement an integrated process safety management system in one of the sector’s companies, leveraging the expertise of specialised consultants and graduates from capacity-building programmes.

The agreement underscores the ministry’s commitment to strengthening process safety, ensuring operational continuity, and achieving the highest standards of protection and sustainability in Egypt’s petroleum sector.
