Shell Thailand Wins the National Health Assembly Award, Reinforcing the Highest Safety Standards and Advancing an Asbestos-Free Thai Society for a Sustainable Future
The Shell Company of Thailand Limited has been honoured with the "Outstanding Achievement in Driving National Health Assembly Resolutions" award by the National Health Commission Office (NHCO). This recognition reflects Shell's corporate culture of prioritizing safety and health, while underscoring its systematic, transparent operations aligned with international standards to advance Thailand toward an asbestos-free society through concrete policy and operational actions.
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), all types of asbestos are classified as human carcinogens with no safe level of exposure. While many countries, including Thailand, have restricted certain types of asbestos due to long-term health risks, a multi-sectoral effort is underway to terminate the use of all asbestos types in favour of safe substitutes, and to strictly control exposure during maintenance and demolition activities.
As Thailand's first oil company with a 134-year legacy, Shell prioritizes Health, Safety, Security, and the Environment (HSSE) at every stage of its operations. In alignment with national health goals, Shell has implemented a multi-year programme to remove and replace asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Key actions include replacing asbestos roofing, and tank and pipe insulation at over 50 sites across Thailand with safe alternative materials. Furthermore, all asbestos-related work is carried out by specialized teams under stringent control measures along with continuous air quality monitoring throughout operations to safeguard the health of workers and surrounding communities.
Ms. Ornuthai Na Chiangmai, Country Chair, The Shell Company of Thailand Limited, stated, "We would like to express our gratitude to the National Health Assembly Committee for presenting us with this certificate of honour, recognizing our visible and successful effort in implementing National Health Assembly resolutions. This award affirms Shell's strong commitment to achieving an asbestos-free society in Thailand. Received at the 18th National Health Assembly, this recognition is a source of pride for Shell Thailand and reinforces our intent to place the highest priority on the occupational health, safety, security, and environment of our people and communities. We remain dedicated to operating responsibly under international standards and collaborating with all sectors to support public policy development. By promoting transparent management practices that prioritize health and environmental safety, we aim to elevate Thai industrial standards and improve the quality of life for all citizens."
Shell Thailand's initiative represents more than just an internal enhancement of health and safety standards; it underscores the private sector's robust role in creating a tangibly better society. Shell remains committed to continuous operational improvement, rooted in the belief that prioritizing Health, Safety, Security, and Environment management will ensure a high quality of life for Thai society and serve as a vital foundation for Thailand's sustainable growth and development.
