Our safety performance
We track our safety performance using industry metrics and work to continuously improve personal and process safety across BP
In 2018 we saw a reduction in the number of tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events. We also saw an overall decrease in our recordable injury frequency and day away from work case frequency.
However, our goals stay the same ̶ to have no accidents, no harm to people and no damage to the environment. There is always more we can do and we remain focused on achieving better results today and in the future. We do that by:
- Training our staff well and giving them the tools they need to do their job
- Promoting a working environment that encourages everyone to speak up and care
- Focusing on the systematic and disciplined application of our processes.
Our Cherry Point refinery in the US marked a historic milestone in April 2018, when its employees and contractors – representing more than 80 local companies – passed 25 million hours and more than five years worked without a single day away from work case.
“Safety is our first priority – on every job, every day. Our values determine how we work, and no value is more important than safety. We want all our people to go home in the same way that they came to work, or even better.”
Bob Allendorfer,Cherry Point refinery manager, BP
