EPRA unveils coalition for safety amid rising energy-related accidents in Kenya

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has taken a bold step toward enhancing energy safety in Kenya with the launch of the Coalition for Safety, a national initiative aimed at fostering a culture of safety, responsibility, and compliance. The announcement was made today at the National Stakeholders Conference, marking the second phase of the ongoing #KaaSafeMtaani campaign.

The need for this initiative is underscored by alarming statistics. By June 2024, Kenya had recorded 153 electrical accidents, resulting in 98 fatalities. Although petroleum-related incidents have decreased, they remain a significant threat, with the tragic Embakasi incident in February 2024 serving as a painful reminder of the dangers posed by energy mishandling.

“With over 60% of Kenyans lacking sufficient knowledge on the safe handling of LPG, petroleum, and electricity, the need for education and preventive action has never been greater,” EPRA stated.

The Coalition for Safety is built on four key pillars: education, collaboration, enforcement, and public perception change. EPRA has called on government agencies, industry players, civil society, and the media to join forces in promoting energy safety across the nation.

The conference was graced by prominent leaders, including Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, Cabinet Secretary for Energy, and Principal Secretaries from the State Departments for Petroleum and Energy, among others. Their presence and commitment were acknowledged as instrumental in driving the energy safety agenda forward.

“As we move ahead, we call upon all stakeholders to integrate this safety message into policies, business operations, and daily practices,” EPRA urged. “Let’s make energy safety a shared responsibility.”

Through education and collaborative efforts, EPRA aims to significantly reduce energy-related accidents and safeguard the lives of Kenyans. The second phase of the #KaaSafeMtaani campaign will play a vital role in raising awareness and promoting safer energy practices nationwide.
