Oil Industry Safety Directorate

Being at Barakhamba Road 27 puts the Oil Industry Safety Directorate right in a busy part of the city. We are just one of the many offices along this stretch, but we have our own way of doing things. It is a straightforward place. We don’t have those massive lobbies with marble floors and fountains. Instead, we have a workspace that actually feels like people use it. We are here every morning, usually starting with a bit of tea before diving into the day's pile of work. The noise from the road outside is always there, but it becomes background noise after a while. We don’t try to sound like a big corporation because we are just people doing a specific job. If you walk past number 27, you might not even notice us unless you are looking for the name. We like it that way. It is a bit worn in, with some scratches on the desks and chairs that have been around for years, but it works for what we need. We don’t have a lot of time for fancy words or complicated missions. We just keep an eye on things from our spot on Barakhamba Road. It is a solid place to be based, even if the traffic is a nightmare at five o'clock. We just stay focused and keep going until the end of the shift. It’s an honest day's work.
