Summary of PERU LNG Lessons of Experience

Core Content

This document outlines the lessons learned from the PERU LNG (PLNG) project, a significant liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in South America. It focuses on how PLNG managed environmental and social risks throughout the project lifecycle, particularly in the areas of health and safety, labor and working conditions, biodiversity conservation, and participatory monitoring. The project, launched in 2007, involved the construction of an LNG plant, a pipeline, a marine terminal, and a quarry, and was supported by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and other international lenders. The total investment was $3.8 billion, with IFC contributing $300 million.

PLNG's experience demonstrates the importance of robust Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS) and the use of continuous improvement to adapt to emerging risks and challenges. The company applied the IFC 2006 Performance Standards and implemented various measures to ensure safety, community engagement, and sustainable development.

Main Points and Key Information

1. Health and Safety: Lessons Learned to Improve Driver Safety

• Challenge: High road accident rates in Peru and the high risk of accidents during pipeline construction due to difficult terrain and weather conditions.
• Approach: PLNG implemented a comprehensive safety strategy, including:
  • Driver Safety Accountability Framework: Seven teams were assigned specific roles in managing driver safety.
  • Management Controls: Use of GPS and radar guns for speed monitoring, regular checkpoints, and safety inspections.
  • Risk Maps: Created to identify high-risk areas for drivers.
  • Mandatory Driver Training: Covering safe driving practices and the use of risk maps.
  • Road Safety Observation Program: Employees reported risky behaviors, leading to targeted improvements.
  • Alcohol Testing: Zero tolerance policy enforced through random testing.
  • Food Monitoring Program: Balanced meals were introduced to reduce fatigue-related accidents.
  • Incentive System: Rewarded drivers for safe delivery, not just speed.

2. Labor and Working Conditions: Lessons Learned from Stakeholder Engagement in Local Hiring

• Key Takeaway: Ensuring that local hiring is managed with a focus on worker rights, fair treatment, and safe working conditions is crucial for development effectiveness.
• Stakeholder Engagement: PLNG engaged with local communities and stakeholders to ensure that hiring practices reflected the protection of basic worker rights.
• Workforce Management: The company emphasized the importance of a constructive worker-management relationship to enhance worker commitment, retention, and overall project success.
• Implementation: PLNG held regular meetings with local contractors and ensured that safety procedures were followed, including the inclusion of detailed safety provisions in contracts.

Key Lessons

Lesson 1: Implement an organizational framework to address driver safety and support the overall environmental and social risk management system

• Establish a clear accountability framework with defined roles for all stakeholders.
• Include Safety Department, Community Relations Team, and Traffic Safety Committee in the management process.
• Ensure that all teams are engaged in the continuous improvement cycle.

Lesson 2: Implement management controls to enforce driver safety

• Enforce a zero tolerance policy for alcohol consumption and speeding.
• Use GPS and radar guns for real-time speed monitoring.
• Establish checkpoints with road supervisors to ensure compliance.

Lesson 3: Engage with communities on safe driving practices

• Conduct regular community meetings and training sessions to raise awareness about road safety.
• Use local languages and materials to ensure effective communication with rural Andean communities.
• Include community feedback in the safety improvement process.

Lesson 4: Consider innovative ways to improve driver safety and health

• Introduce food monitoring programs to reduce fatigue.
• Provide health awareness campaigns and nutritional guidance to drivers.
• Collaborate with local restaurants to ensure healthy meal options.

Lesson 5: Ensure that safety policies are also followed by third-party contractors

• Include safety requirements in contractor bidding documents.
• Ensure that transportation subcontractors are held accountable for driver safety.
• Conduct regular safety meetings with all contractors to review and enforce safety protocols.

Lesson 6: Reward drivers for on-time delivery without incident

• Shift the incentive system to prioritize safe delivery over speed.
• Hold awards ceremonies to recognize drivers who adhere to safety standards.
• Use peer recognition as a primary motivator for safe driving behavior.

Conclusion

The PERU LNG project serves as a model for sustainable development in the extractive industry. Through rigorous application of IFC Performance Standards, continuous improvement, and community engagement, PLNG successfully managed environmental and social risks while promoting a culture of safety and ethical labor practices. The lessons learned are transferable to other large-scale infrastructure projects and highlight the importance of proactive risk management, stakeholder collaboration, and innovative solutions in ensuring long-term project success and community well-being.
