Our veteran

It has been 75 years since millions of people around the world sacrificed themselves in the fight against fascism. Many survived the brutality of the war, returned to their families, and despite tremendous spiritual or physical trauma, managed to gradually emerge from the difficult situation and became actively involved in the rhythm of peaceful life. Our society, of all generations, has always respected and will continue to honor the memory of our fallen heroes, as well as war veterans, and will always show love, affection and respect for them.

The Shusha Tragedy

Universally, the recent history of the world clearly depicts progressive society, which continuously strives to raise the standard of living for a peaceful coexistence. However, there are also certain groups in society who are engaged in war, invasions and acts of violence, which brings about great pain and suffering to the civilian population by destroying their material and spiritual values, thus depriving them of their right to have a decent life.

28 years ago, the small town of Shusha and surrounding regions suffered one of the worst tragedies in world history. This tragedy is called the “Shusha Tragedy”, which reminds the world community of the acts of brutality, severity that occurred on May 8. 1992.

Safety Observation Cards at Kulevi Oil Terminal

Kulevi Oil Terminal is using Safety Observation Cards (SOC) to document hazards as well as safety recommendations in the workplace. It is a comprehensive report that includes evidence and detailed descriptions of key safety observations. Performing and documenting regular safety observations helps to ensure a safe workplace, as well as share best practices with employees.

An SOC is the written record of a safety conversation between an observer and an employee. The observer that wrote the card has to stop the unsafe activities observed and talk to the person involved in the unsafe activity and propose corrective actions to take in order to prevent the outcomes of this unsafe behavior.
