According to NPC, Hassan Abbaszadeh, during a meeting with company managers on Monday, praised the round-the-clock efforts of NPC’s various departments during the conflict. He stated that solidarity and collaboration among petrochemical holdings and companies played a crucial role in meeting the country’s needs in recent days.

Abbaszadeh noted that NPC’s regulatory and governance role—particularly in Mahshahr and Asaluyeh—ensured companies operated with a strategic plan. During the emergency, all sectors of the industry came together, coordinating with NPC’s crisis management committee to control the situation.

Full safety compliance, HSE coordination essential 

The deputy oil minister stressed the need to eliminate potential risks for communities near industrial sites, highlighting the critical role of NPC’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) department. Petrochemical plants must strictly adhere to regulations and guidelines, he said.

Abbaszadeh referenced a meeting with deputies of the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade, noting that downstream industries’ needs were met thanks to effective cooperation.

He added that all petrochemical facilities and projects must ensure full emergency preparedness through safety measures. Their emergency committees must coordinate closely with NPC’s HSE department and local emergency response teams.

The NPC CEO also underscored the importance of documenting lessons from the recent war, stating that all aspects must be considered by management to ensure stable production.
