Safety

Petrofac operates in difficult and potentially hazardous environments and the safety of our people is absolutely paramount at all times. 2008 was the sixth year in succession that the Company’s recorded incident frequency rate declined. Further action is being taken to improve that performance still further.

Petrofac’s internal safety campaign, Horizon Zero - which won the UK Offshore Contractor’s Association (OCA) safety award in 2006 - was rolled out across the whole group in 2008. A Horizon Zero toolkit was issued to all supervisors, containing tools to help raise awareness of occupational safety and the Petrofac Guide to Safety Leadership booklet and the Motor Vehicle Drivers’ Code were developed to assist and encourage employees to consider safety in all areas of their professional and personal lives.

As an organisation Petrofac wants to eliminate accidents and injuries to people in all aspects of its business; we recognise that this is a difficult goal but will strive to succeed.
