We have a centralized health, safety and environmental, or HSE department.
We implemented HSE management systems for both Panzhuang and Mabi operations based on ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards. Panzhuang EHS management system was certified by DNV in April 2012 to be in compliance with these standards.
Our HSE policies focus on ensuring our CBM emissions control, treatment of waste water and slurry and treatment of soil erosion are in accordance with the relevant regulations and policies of national and local governments. We have made preventive measures to handle environmental hazards, such as minimizing gas emissions and burning, sedimenting and recycling waste water, solidifying and embedding slurry, land reclamation and revegetation.
Our operations produce only a small amount of waste water and we have onsite water treatment facilities to effectively treat waste water at a minimal cost. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, we did not experience any incidents in our CBM concessions that had a material adverse impact on our business or results of operations.
We actively monitor our operations and the operations of our contractors, who are obligated to observe our HSE policies pursuant to the service contracts between them and us. We have also entered into agreements for the treatment of hazardous waste with competent and qualified professional firms to treat the waste oil arising out of CBM exploration.
In 2017, AAG has achieved excellent performance in HSE record by maintaining a zero incident for total recordable injury rate and lost time injury(LTIR). By 25 December 2017, AAG has achieved 5 million man-hours without a single LTIR. In 2017, AAGI acquires ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001: 2007 Certification by DNV·GL.
