Audits Lateral Learning
What is the finding? Recent ISO14001
re-certification Environmental audit discovered
that a number of STPs in PDO and contractors camp
are operated with incoming flow meters on bypass.
Corrective action Ensure incoming flow meters
in all STPs operated by PDO and contractors are
functional. Do not by pass in the future.

• What are the consequences/ Impacts?
• If the flow meter is bypassed, the amount of the
  effluent (Sewage) is not measured. This may cause
  overloading to the STP, which in turn may result
  in the following
• Inefficient treatment of sewage
• Treated sewage not according to the required
  standards
• Treated sewage full of bacteria, viruses, worm
  eggs, etc.
• Health impact to workers, inhabitants, and
  plants
• Contamination to the environment (ground
  water, soil and air quality)
• Could impact the plant and grass irrigated by
  this effluent
• PDO has maintained its reputation on Environment.
  Failing to fix this item may subject PDO to a
  legal fine and loss of ISO14001 certification.
• Let us work together to keep Oman clean and
  healthy

• Action for the assest
• Please check if you have the same finding
• If yes, follow the corrective action
• Report compliance to MSE/41
