SABIC affiliate Eastern Petrochemical Company (SHARQ) received the prestigious International Safety Award for the year 2004 from the British Safety Council, on 20 May 2005.

SHARQ has won this prestigious safety award for its distinct efforts and for achieving highest performance rates in the field of industrial and environmental safety.

Mohammed Al Mady, SABIC Vice Chairman and CEO congratulated Mohammed Al-Jabri, President SHARQ, and all SHARQ employees for this outstanding accomplishment.

British Prime Minister, Rt Hon Tony Blair MP, sent a message to the winners, "At its best, sensible health and safety should be about managing risk, rather than trying to eliminate them altogether.

Managing risks has a benefit not just to employees, but also to the economy as a whole, helping to tackle the 39 million days lost each year to ill health and injuries".

Mr David Ballard, Director General of the British Safety Council, said, "The international safety awards highlight organisations that demonstrate commitment to health and safety.

They are a mark of a proven and significant achievement in safety standards.

By making safety an important feature of everyday work practice, Eastern Petrochemical Company (SHARQ) is reducing accidents and ill health while improving productivity and profitability.".
