Health and safety SKA believes in the concept that all accidents are preventable . The company works hard to identify HSE risks that arise from its activities and lower them as much as possible . This is a policy that the business observes closely throughout all aspects of its work , and alongside that it takes a serious interest in environmental protection and corporate responsibility . SKA recognises that it has an obligation towards the protection of the communities it operates within , as well as to the people involved , and maintains a high standard of ethics . This protects the reputation of the company and encourages public confidence .
Technological advancements Managing logistics on a large scale requires advanced , state-of-the-art technology , particularly for a company which utilises many forms of transport in its operations . “ We ’ ve invested a lot of money in technology ,” says Douglas . “ SKA has the first ever privately-owned fuel storage terminal in Iraq , and two years ago we signed a joint venture with BP to build an additional facility which has a 30,000 cubic feet
