Innovative leading oilfield services provider AlMansoori Specialized Engineering (MSE) has reaffirmed its commitment to health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ) with the announcement of two key appointments in its HSEQ management team.

The company has appointed Dr Edna Aricaya-Huevos and Graham Caie as HSEQ advisors.

Dr Aricaya-Huevos (47) will monitor, manage and promote better health and lifestyle amongst the company's employees.  Dr Aricaya-Huevos graduated from the Ateneo de Davao University in the Philippines and is a practising physician.  She has worked in several institutions over the past 15 years and has devoted the past three years to practising holistic medicine.

Dr Aricaya-Huevos said: "I find MSE to be a dedicated company which takes great care and consideration to ensure its employees are in the best of health.  I will use my experience in internal and holistic medicine to ensure optimal health throughout the company through a series of lectures, consultations and health publications. I believe a happy, healthy workforce ensures better business for clients and customers and ensures a positive wellbeing for each individual."

Aberdeen-born Mr Caie (28) has been appointed as HSEQ advisor for AlMansoori Tubular Inspection Services (a division of MSE) and MSE's Qatar and Saudi Arabia operations. He is responsible for HSEQ activity in Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya and Oman.

Mr Caie has more than eight years' experience in the oil industry, with more than four years working in HSEQ in the Middle East, covering a variety of services such as safety valves, hydrostatic pressure testing, completions and coiled tubing.

He said: "I have been encouraged by AlMansoori's extremely proactive approach to health, safety, environment and quality. HSEQ is at the very heart of the company's culture and I look forward to helping AlMansoori raise the HSEQ bar even higher in the future."
