Health, Safety & Environment (HSE)
EDC Health, Safety & Environment
Safety of our people comes before equipment and before the well. EDC’s HSE Management System is certified to ISO 45001:2018 and applies to all employees, contractors, and visitors across all operational sites. Our commitments: protect people and the environment; support any personnel who stop unsafe work without reprisal; investigate all incidents and share lessons learned; and verify compliance through regular audits against ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and applicable regulatory requirements.
HSE Resources

HSE Performance
EDC tracks and publicly reports its safety performance through key industry metrics — Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF), and cumulative hours worked without a Lost Time Incident (LTI). These indicators reflect our operational discipline, the effectiveness of our safety systems, and our long-term commitment to continuous improvement.
Total Recordable Incident Rate
TRIR Recordable incidents per 200,000 man-hours worked
Lost Time Injury Frequency
LTIF Lost time injuries per 1,000,000 man-hours worked
Hours Worked Without LTI
---- Cumulative man-hours without a Lost Time Incident
