Health and Safety
At Kosmos Energy, we are committed to the health and safety of our employees, local communities, and those who work with us. We strive to create an injury- and incident-free workplace.
Employees and contractors are expected to take action to ensure safe operations by following safe work practices, complying with relevant policies and regulations, and completing all applicable training.
One Team, One Goal
Our One Team, One Goal initiative unifies our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies, standards, systems and procedures. By working together as One Team - all Kosmos employees and our contractors - we can achieve our One Goal of delivering HSE excellence. Whether we work in an office or offshore, whether it’s a matter of personal or process safety, and even at home, we all have a role to play.
Our Health and Safety Commitments
Health and safety are a top priority during all phases of our operations. We commit to:
Assessing and minimizing health and safety risks to our contractors or employees
Staying prepared to effectively respond to emergencies
Promoting a culture in which we uphold high standards of HSE performance
Improving our health and safety performance through effective management systems
Strong Standards, Independent Oversight
Kosmos’ HSE management system combines strong standards with independent oversight to manage health and safety risks. The STANDARD, which includes our HSE Policy, is informed by IOGP guidance and ISO 14001. We adhere to BSEE Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) requirements, under which our HSE management system and associated processes in the Gulf of America are externally audited every three years, alongside annual internal audits.
