Safety
Safe energy infrastructure depends on disciplined operations, reliable assets, clear procedures and people who understand their responsibility at every stage of the operation.
Our approach
Storage terminals and energy transportation systems require consistent attention to people, equipment, procedures and changing operating conditions. Safety is therefore embedded into daily decision-making rather than treated as a separate activity.
People
Employees, contractors and other personnel working around critical infrastructure must understand the procedures, hazards and responsibilities associated with their work.
Process
Clear operating procedures, inspections, maintenance and disciplined execution help reduce operational risk and support reliable facility performance.
Operating framework
Plan
Identify the operating conditions, equipment, interfaces and potential hazards before work begins.
Control
Apply established procedures, isolation requirements and operational controls appropriate to the work.
Monitor
Monitor equipment, operating conditions and work activities throughout the operation.
Respond
Clear communication and established response procedures help personnel act when unexpected conditions arise.
Asset integrity
Tanks, pipelines, transfer systems and associated equipment form an interconnected operating system. Maintaining the condition of these assets is fundamental to safe and reliable performance.
INSPECTION
Identifying deterioration and potential issues before they affect operations.
MAINTENANCE
Keeping critical equipment in appropriate operating condition.
MONITORING
Maintaining awareness of equipment and operating conditions.
Safety culture
PEOPLE
Competence, awareness and accountability.
PROCESS
Procedures, controls and clear communication.
ASSET
Reliable equipment and maintained infrastructure.
