However, besides the positive results that have been already achieved, in NSRP Project, there are some complicated issues in terms of security and safety due to the influence of many factors such as large project size with joint venture parties, many subcontractors, large number of employees and workers from many countries and regions, unequal awareness of workers, different traditions and customs.
The situation of using of fake ID cards, borrowed ID cards to access construction site is still ongoing; the action of bringing materials, properties, materials, scraps ... out of project site without permission or using modified permits is still happening; The case of hindering against PVS force tends to increase and become more complicated;
The situation of fishing boats infringing marine construction safety corridor still occurs regularly, fishing by mines/ detonators will be a major concern during the operation phase. Through the coordinated patrols by the JGCS security forces and Nghi Son Border Army force, a significant number of fishing boats infringing marine construction safety corridor have been prevented; Authorities have also arrested and conducted investigation many cases of selling/buying mines, detonators in the locality;
Traffic violation and traffic safety on the roads remain complicated; Many types of services and business in project area potentially contains social evils and crimes, …causing insecurity situation. Thus, further support from the authorities is very necessary.

It is not allowed to obtain economic interests then downplay the risks to people's lives because its harm is incalculable, a lot of time will be needed to overcome. Third, close coordination between the forces from the central to local levels, especially the directed involved forces those are protecting the security of project. There must be a closer plan between protecting onshore and offshore construction. The existing problems must be immediately resolved, such as the establishing the general regulations on coordination among forces and reviewing responsibilities of all levels.
During the construction process, the investor, contractor, the police force should take in to account the construction problems with the design, import of equipment and technology of the refinery for the right purpose ... The police must monitor, check the entire technological process including those are approved by relevant authorities. Security Guard need to monitor the situation and give proposal if necessary to prevent problems from occurring. The action of sabotage, hostile force infiltrating construction site should be concerned, prevented.
