System supporting management decisions

The Quality, Health & Safety and Environment Management System (QHSE) at PGNiG SA complies with the following standards: ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and good HSE practices applying to exploration for and production and tankless storage of hydrocarbons, as well as to the processing and transmission of gas. The QHSE Management System was introduced by way of a resolution of the PGNiG SA Management Board in 2016. The 2020 surveillance audit confirmed implementation of the ISO 45001:2018 occupational safety management system, replacing the earlier OHSAS 18001:2007 standard, and provided evidence that the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system were in place. The certificates of compliance with the above standards will remain valid until July 19th 2021. In order to maintain the validity of these certificates, the QHSE Management System in place at PGNiG will undergo a recertification review.

The QHSE Management System at PGNIG is a management tool for operational activities. The process management implemented as part of the system allows the monitoring of operations in order to prevent events negatively affecting the implementation of processes, as well as to assess their efficiency and effectiveness. This translates into achieving specific economic and financial results and achieving business objectives.

The effective functioning of the QHSE Management System is supervised by the Management Board’s Representative for the QHSE Management System, supported by Representatives of respective Directors at PGNIG Branches. The representative of the Management Board is authorized to represent PGNiG in the field of the QHSE Management System before external interested parties.
