The projects include the deployment of an electrical isolation system and the digitalisation of its permit-to-work (PTW) process. Both initiatives are designed to reduce operational risks, improve workplace safety, and support regulatory compliance.
The electrical isolation system, aimed at preventing accidents caused by unintentional energy release, has been launched initially in the company’s air separation unit and is being expanded to power generation, water treatment, dispatching, and wastewater facilities. According to Fajr Energy, global data shows that isolation systems can reduce such incidents by up to 50%.
The company said it conducted 4,828 hours of training across operations, maintenance, safety, and technical services teams, and implemented standard lockout-tagout (LOTO) equipment and procedures as part of the project.
The second project involves the introduction of a digital PTW system to replace manual processes. The electronic platform allows for real-time risk alerts, digital tracking of permits, and automated notifications for incomplete or unsafe entries. Fajr said the system has already been used to issue, audit, and assess over 100,000 work permits, reducing permit-related errors to 3.5%.
The projects, which follow global practices adopted by companies such as Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies, bring Fajr Energy in line with standards set by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the company said.
Fajr Energy is part of Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC), one of Iran’s largest industrial groups.
