1. Introduction
1.1. Background information on HSE MS (ISO 45001) in Oil and Gas, Uganda
Uganda will be experiencing a significant development towards its oil and gas sector where the
Tilenga and Kingfisher projects for the Lake Albert oilfield development has gone the closing on its
final investment decision and lucrative engineering, procurement and construction awards the
governments of the land-locked nation and neighbour Tanzania signed key oil deals last April 2021.
The Tilenga project will include development of Central Processing Facility (CPF) with capacity to
process 190,000 barrels of oil per day, drilling over 426 wells which will be drilled on 31 well-pads,
over 160 km of flow-lines which will transport crude oil and water from wells to the CPF, 95km
feeder pipeline and other supporting infrastructure including Victoria Nile Crossing, Temporary and
Permanent Operation Support Base camps and a Lake Water Abstraction Station.
While for the Kingfisher project, it will include the development of a Central Processing Facility (CPF)
with capacity to process of 40,000 barrels of oil per day, drilling over 31 wells which to be drilled on
four (4) well pads, nineteen (19) kilometres of flow lines to connect the field to the CPF, 46km 12
inch feeder pipeline from CPF in Buhuka to the export hub and Refinery in Kabaale, Hoima District,
water abstraction station, supporting infrastructure such as temporary and permanent camps, a
material yard, a jetty and several access roads, among others.
This development of oil and gas project, starting for the construction works, drilling undertakings
and other services, will inherent number of high-risks activities, and exposing the workers and
installation to potential harmful and hazardous environment. Oil and gas operations are governed by
strict operational guidelines in order to avoid quality failure that can turn into damage to people or
environment or heavy financial loss. Thus, the HSE MS should be strengthened at its base prior to
undergo the development project related to oil and gas in Uganda including developing
understanding and leadership on HSE Management System.
The Uganda’s Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Act 2013, (EDP Act 2013),
besides of regulating the standards and requirement of the petroleum exploration, development
and production, it is also to regulate standard for efficient and safe petroleum activities. Petroleum
Authority Uganda (PAU) has also mentioned on the aspiration on preserving human health and
installation throughout this oil and gas development, with six (6) strategic objectives of has been
emphazised which clearly reflected on the needs to enhance the elements in HSE Management
System, as per below ;
Preventing incidents, hazards and accidents and limit their consequences to human health
and the environment
To prevent and reduce the number of accidents among employees that are likely to result
into loss of time for work, disability or fatality to the employees
To ensure that occupational safety and health in all petroleum activities is satisfactory for
the health of employees and the environment
To ensure that economic value which the facilities and vessels represent include operational
availability
To ensure that the level of safety and health is at all times concurrent with technological
development
To comply with the requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 2006

Proposal on Upgrading HSE Management System
/ ISO 45001 to local Ugandan Enterprises
Client : TOTAL E&P Uganda Limited
Prepared by : Sunmaker Energy (Uganda) Limited
With regards to this, the oil and gas players in Uganda including the local enterprises who will be
expecting to involve in this development, need to be certified in several disciplines, including in
safety and health management system of their organization in order to receive an accreditation or
approval, allowing them to undertake specific operations.
This proposal will offer the scope of upgrading HSE Management system for local Uganda
enterprises which will be specifically involved in petroleum activities, besides of seeking on the
understanding of current gap and challenges of their HSE Management System.
Due to lack of study on the HSE management system on local enterprises or organization having
businesses related to oil and gas from the previous year, the challenges and gap mentioned here will
look on HSE Management System of enterprises from general sectors in Uganda which has been
reported in the website, studies and by authorized organization as mentioned in Section 6.
This local enterprises, have potential progress to move from general sectors not related to
petroleum activities, to involve with petroleum activities in years ahead thus it is significant to
understand the challenges and gap from this basis.
1.2. Challenges and Gap in HSE Management System in Ugandan Local Enterprises
EDP Act 2013, Section 125 under Provision of goods and services by Uganda entrepreneurs,
emphasizes in sub-section (3)(a) that “ the licensee, its contractors and subcontractors shall ensure
that the entities referred to in subsection (1) are notified of the quality, health, safety and
environment standards required by the licensee” where subsection (1) mentions that “The licensee,
its contractors and subcontractors shall give preference to goods which are produced or available in
Uganda and services which are rendered by Ugandan citizens and companies”.
However, the challenges in the Ugandan companies, in the area of HSE management system or
Occupational Safety and Health, still required attention and improvement. In Uganda, the Ministry
of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD) through the Department of Occupational
Safety and Health is responsible for administration and enforcement of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act, No 9, 2006. in local industry. It is crucial to understand that, those Ugandan companies,
earlier governed under OSH Act 2006 only and expecting to involve from non-petroleum activities to
petroleum activities required to comply with EDP Act 2013, which include them to enhancement
their capability and competence specifically in HSE Management System field.
MoGLSD has mentioned about the needs in conducting research in the areas of accident reporting
and investigation, occupational diseases in the flower industry, accident and injury prevention in the
construction industry, OSH issues in the oil and gas downstream operations and effectiveness of the
safety committees at workplaces to educate and create awareness among all players in HSE MS(1)
Although Uganda’s economy has registered a number of achievements, various aspects of health,
safety and environment management system (HSE MS) have not been adequately addressed.
Management of the HSE MS issues at workplaces continue to be left unattended to by different
sectors of government and private sector.(1)
Many workers in Uganda are not aware of their rights to a safe and healthy working environment
and have remained exposed to unhealthy working conditions, faulty plants and equipment,
dangerous civil works and constructions leading to ill health and death.(1)
3

/ ISO 45001 to local Ugandan Enterprises
Client : TOTAL E&P Uganda Limited
Prepared by : Sunmaker Energy (Uganda) Limited
Based on the report published by Department of Occupational Safety and Health of Uganda in 2016,
it was mentioned on the gap of HSE MS and non-compliance with occupational safety and health
requirements as; The compliance rates across the country stand at 30% whereas in government
institutions compliance stands at 45%(1)
The other challenges and issues as mentioned by the report in 2016 (as it is the latest report publicly
published by DOSH, Uganda);
i) Many workers in Uganda are not aware of their rights to a safe and healthy working
environment and have remained exposed to unhealthy working conditions, faulty plant
and equipment, dangerous civil works and constructions leading to ill health and death.5
As a result, when they are injured or fall sick due to the poor conditions at the
workplace, or die on duty, employers take advantage of their ignorance of the law and
do not compensate them (1).
ii) due to inadequate awareness and sensitization on OSH standards, limited personnel
and logistics, enforcement of the OSH legislation has not been effective. For example
while the ILO standard of inspector to worker ratio is 1:500, in Uganda, the population
employed is estimated at 7.9 million as compared to the 18 inspectors, which implies an
inspector to worker ratio of 1:438,889 (1).
iii) Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development indicated that 1,520 people were
injured at various workplaces in Uganda from 2006 to 2008 and 856 workers contracted
various occupational diseases and illnesses in the year 2007 alone. Also to note is that
from 2008 to 2009, over 40 buildings collapsed killing and injuring many workers in
Uganda (1).
Reflecting to this general overview on HSE MS towards all sectors in Uganda as reported by
Department of Occupational Safety and Health in 2016, we would like to conclude on the needs for
local enterprises venturing into the field of gas and oil, to develop a framework for strengthening
their HSE MS by emphasizing leadership, commitment, responsibilities, training and awareness at all
levels, to train and to sensitize employers, workers towards their activities specifically related hazard
and risk in oil and gas field.
1.3. Objective: Upgrading HSE Management System practices and standards in selected Ugandan
oil and gas related companies
The overall objective of this proposal is to increase the Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE)
Management system standards and practices at selected Ugandan enterprises that is potent to
become contractor and sub-contractor for the oil and gas market. It is also to enhance their
capability to an internationally recognized level to participate in bids and tenders in Uganda.
