PNG Gas Limited, a subsidiary of Gas Train Limited, has achieved operational safety of one million man-hours without Lost-Time Incident (LTI) at its Egbaoma Gas Processing Plant located at Ebedei, Ukwani Local Government Area of Delta State.
Lost Time Incident or Injury (LTI) is a measure of injury or incident that occurs on a job that is capable of preventing a worker from performing or continuing with his or her task resulting in downtime in the operation.

The operational safety milestone achieved by PNG Gas in January 2018 is a demonstration of its conformity with oil and gas industry best practices. This achievement, the management said, was made possible through the joint efforts and hard work of the entire workforce.
Commenting on the achievement, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Bolaji Ogundare, said: “This achievement reflects how best we have excelled.
It shows the degree of excellence in our strategy, organizational leadership, process systems and health, safety and environment (HSE) culture, despite the business challenges in today’s economy.”
To the promoter of Gas Train and a Director in PNG Gas Limited, Charles Osezua, a Gas Engineer and Investor, who has championed several gas projects in Nigeria, “this safety landmark was achieved by God’s grace and the well thought out process the company was built on.”
