Developing a corporate safety attitude to reduce and hopefully eliminate injuries, accidents and releases of toxic chemicals has been practiced for many years. The activities and technologies described below are interconnected with other safety approaches; however it is useful to consider them separately since they are primarily associated with different parts of most jobs. This program was based partially on the ides of a safety pyramid (Figure 1), with the goal of eliminating the root causes of injuries and accidents by eliminating the un-safe acts themselves. These types of programs traditionally use industry standards driven by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)[2] which have been used to classify safety events that are based on the treatment and/or restrictions of the injured person. The treatment-based approach can have some limitations due to the intense focus on administrative reporting (i.e., is the incident recordable or not?) and incident escalation management, the approach does not naturally resonate with workforce members to enable desired cultural changes.
The Burgan field is an oil field situated in the desert of southeastern Kuwait. Burgan field can also refer to the Greater Burgan--a group of three closely spaced fields, which includes Burgan field itself as well as the much smaller Magwa and Ahmadi fields. Greater Burgan is the world's largest sandstone oil field, and the second largest overall, afterGhawar. The Greater Burgan field includes two smaller fields the Magwa and the Ahmadi. Chief Executive of the Kuwait Oil Company reported that Burgan produced half of Kuwait's oil.
Semantically, sustainability means the ability to sustain, or in other words, it is "the ability to continue at a particular level for a period of time".[1] In recent decades, the term "sustainability" has been increasingly used, sometimes imprecisely or ambiguously. However, this should not be the case, as the term "sustainability" has its basis in one of the "7 principles of the International Environmental Legal Framework," specifically, the "Principle of Sustainable Development." The principle of Sustainable Development was defined for the first time in 1987 in the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) final report "Our Common future", better known as "The Brundtland Report" named it after Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland who was the chair of the commission. The report defines Sustainable Development as "... development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" Sustainability emphasizes the importance of balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and social justice, the Three Pillars of Sustainable Development .

His Excellency Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy became Minister of Oil and Gas of the Sultanate of Oman in December, 1997. The Sultanate occupies the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with a population of approximately 2.4 million. According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy, Oman has an estimated 5.5 billion bbl of proven recoverable oil reserves and 30Tcf of gas. Given that the amount of oil originally in place in Oman is estimated to be 50 billion bbl, finding ways to increase recoverability is a priority. Before his current position, Al Rumhy held academic faculty positions in petroleum engineering and served as Assistant Dean of Engineering at Sultan Qaboos U. in Oman, and he was awarded the Mitsumae Intl.
