BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10. HSE (Health,
Safety, and Environment) and process safety management systems have
been upgraded in Azerbaijan over recent years, Managing Director of
SOCAR Downstream Management LLC Emil Alkhasli said at the
Industrial Safety Summit 2025, Trend reports.
He brought attention to the fact that SOCAR's processing
facilities have entered a new phase of enhancing process safety and
methodically managing hazards.
"Within this framework, safety barriers are being strengthened
at the facilities, operational risks are being reduced, and safety
culture is being taken to a new level. Since errors in the field of
process safety can lead to serious consequences in an instant, this
direction is considered a priority for SOCAR," Alkhasli added.
SOCAR Downstream Management LLC (SDM) is a subsidiary of
Azerbaijan's state oil company (SOCAR), established in late 2019 to
manage and modernize SOCAR's oil refining, petrochemical, and
product logistics assets, aiming for operational excellence,
improved safety, Euro 5 standards, and enhanced corporate
governance. Its main projects include upgrading the Heydar Aliyev
Oil Refinery (HAOR) and driving sustainability/waste monetization
initiatives.
