Health, Safety, and Environment
BHP Billiton Trinidad and Tobago engages a relentless focus on Health, Safety and the Environment. The HSSE Team, and by extension, BHP Billiton Trinidad and Tobago and its partners, believe that outstanding performance in the areas of health, safety, and environmental affairs are critical to the success of any development. The Greater Angostura Field project has been designed, constructed, installed, commissioned and operated in compliance with the BHP Billiton Global HSE Management Standards. Reviews and audits are held periodically throughout the life of the project to establish conformance. Although not required under Trinidad and Tobago law, BHP Billiton manages the Angostura Development under the Safety Case environment. This Safety Case is aligned with the UK and Australian Guide to Safety Cases.
BHP Billiton has achieved ISO 14001 certification for the whole of the Trinidad and Tobago Production Unit. Part of the standard involves the periodic review and auditing of the whole asset. As well it is our intention to seek ISO 9001 and OSHAS 18001 certification as our asset matures.

Community Relations
BHP Billiton and its partners in Block 2(c) continue to implement a multi-faceted community affairs programme focused on sustainable development initiatives, including contributions that support sustainable development efforts and foster empowerment for among the people who benefit from them. We focus on the 3 E's — Education, Entrepreneurship and the Environment — in our targeted communities.
An important goal is to improve the capabilities of the people affected by the community programmes, either by maintaining and growing a project after an initial launch period or by acquiring the skills and expertise that can be used in other projects or professional endeavours.
