Santos is committed to ensuring that its workplaces are safe and enjoyable for all staff. In April, the second round of DV awareness sessions was conducted by the Santos Foundation Gender Team in Port Moresby, Kaitigi, Moro, Ridge and Gobe. Given the location of each site, the sessions included a video by the Santos PNG Country Chair Mr Leon Buskens.

Mr Buskens encouraged staff to look out for each other, but most importantly to use the services provided by the company if they experienced any form of violence. The sessions were interactive and included group discussions, as well as sharing of experiences. Staff and contractors were encouraged to understand the importance of having a company response to FSV and how they could manage stressful situations better in order to reduce the risk of violent behaviour.

A total of 170 staff and contractors attended these sessions.
