DOHA, Qatar -- Qatargas has won the International Safety Award from the British Safety Council.

Qatargas was given the award following tests by an independent panel.

"We want all our people to go home safely at end of the day – this is what forms the basis of our safety philosophy. I would like to congratulate all those involved for winning this prestigious award and at the same time remind everyone that safety is the personal responsibility of each and every individual," said Faisal Al-Suwaidi, CEO of Qatargas
