Heirs Energies has achieved a major safety milestone -10 million manhours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), reinforcing its strong commitment to protecting its people and operating responsibly.
Since assuming operatorship of OML 17 over five years ago, Heirs Energies has prioritised safety as a core pillar of its operations. Beyond the metrics, this achievement represents something far more meaningful: lives protected, families kept whole, and a sustained culture where safety is never compromised.
Operating at scale across one of Nigeria’s most active onshore assets, Heirs Energies has demonstrated that strong performance and stringent safety standards are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they are mutually reinforcing. This milestone reflects a disciplined approach to risk management, continuous learning, and a shared responsibility for safety across Heirs Energies.
Central to this success is Heirs Energies’ Empowerment-Based Safety Model, anchored on the principle that “Everyone is a Safety Officer.” By design, the model moves safety beyond policies and procedures, embedding it into everyday decision-making and behaviour. Every employee – across technical, commercial, and corporate functions – is empowered and expected to take ownership of safety outcomes.
This approach has fostered a proactive safety culture, where individuals are not only aware of risks but are confident and accountable in addressing them. It reinforces the company’s belief that safety is only as strong as its most recent performance, requiring constant vigilance and collective discipline.
This is a proud moment for Heirs Energies and a strong reminder that with the right culture and discipline, safety and performance can go hand in hand.
