Safety before speed. Always.
Petroleum products are hazardous. Our HSE management system governs how we store, move and deliver them — protecting our people, our customers and the communities we operate in.
Our commitment
The HSE policy is signed by the President and applies to every employee, driver, contractor and terminal.
Noor Al-Faroq Trading Co. is committed to conducting all of its activities in a manner that protects the health and safety of its employees, contractors, customers and the public, and that minimises impact on the environment.
No commercial objective justifies compromising safety. Every employee has the authority and the duty to stop any operation that is unsafe.
