PETROPERÚ ratifies its rejection of non-compliance with sanitary regulations

As previously announced, PETROPERÚ maintains its policy of blocking the passes of workers from contractor and subcontractor companies that are intervened by the National Police of Peru (PNP), in breach of COVID-19 health regulations, outside of working hours.

Along these lines, after reviewing the list of people intervened by the PNP and Serenazgo on Saturday, May 15, the entry passes to the Talara Refinery of 11 workers of contractors and subcontractors were blocked, with which -starting this moment- they will not be able to enter to carry out their work, as happened with the four workers intervened on May 1.

In this way, PETROPERÚ reiterated its energetic rejection of inappropriate behavior by those who fail to comply with the COVID-19 health regulations and has been requesting the contracting companies in which the intervened personnel work to maintain and redouble the corresponding corrective measures to prevent these events from repeating themselves during the state of emergency that the country is experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As is public knowledge, the construction work of the new Talara Refinery continues, complying with the protocols approved and established in the surveillance, prevention and control plans of COVID-19 for this project, which are aligned with the Ministerial Resolution RM-972-2020-MINSA.

The more than seven thousand workers currently working on this project are under permanent medical surveillance, a task that is carried out by 190 people who make up the health teams of PETROPERÚ, its contractors and their subcontractors.

All workers are required to comply with the protocols established in work areas that go through constant cleaning and disinfection processes. Likewise, in coordination with contractors and subcontractors, staff are sensitized to maintain biosafety protocols until they reach their homes.

In coordination with the Provincial Municipality of Talara, PETROPERÚ will carry out an information campaign in the city, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of not lowering our guard and continuing to comply with health measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. It has also reported that it has been coordinating with local authorities on other actions to deal with COVID-19 in the oil city.
