Safety is always our first priority. We aim to have zero fatalities and to prevent incidents like spills, fires, and accidents that put our people, neighbours and facilities at risk. In 2007, we continued to strengthen our safety culture. We introduced new, simpler safety policies to make it easier to understand and follow the rules and check they are being implemented.
Our policies
- Shell HSE policy and commitment define our goal: no harm to people.
- Company-wide health, safety, security and environment (HSSE) standards outline the requirements to get there.
- Process safety and road safety standards set consistent company-wide approach and allow us to check compliance.
- Standards apply to all operations we control and to all staff and contractors at those operations. We expect operations we don’t control – and suppliers – to apply these or equivalent standards.
