Abstract
Problem Statement
For several years now, oil companies have developed control programs for Malaria and Tuberculosis. Most of the major companies have also developed plans to prepare for an eventual Avian Flu pandemic. However, several other infectious agents and diseases have potential for serious impact and/or operations disruption.
Objectives - Scope
This paper will describe ConocoPhillips experience dealing with highly contagious disease offshore and onshore and the response plans that allowed minimizing their impact. It will also share the lessons learned and highlight the role of management, medical, employee and community involvement required to control those diseases.
Results
The unusual cases encountered recently in Asia Pacific prompted a review of the epidemiological data available in the countries involved with regards to diseases prevalence/incidence, immunization coverage, diagnostic capabilities and treatment facilities
Application
Best practices for the prevention of those diseases were identified and will be highlighted in the paper.
