protecting people

our commitment to health and safety

Protecting people and the environment is one of our Chevron values.

Safety is embedded in everything we do at Chevron Australia. Our safety culture is based on two unwavering principles: do it safely or not at all; and there is always time to do it right.

We do not compromise on safety, because getting results the right way makes us who we are.

We are committed to protecting our people and developing a workplace that is incident and injury free. To achieve this, we work together as one team to send our employees and contractors home safe from work every day.

At Chevron, we believe that incidents are preventable, and we have policies, processes, tools and behavioural expectations in place to assist us in achieving that goal. We call the systematic management of process safety, reliability and integrity, environment, efficiency, security and stakeholders to achieve world-class performance Operational Excellence (OE) and it drives everything we do.

OE is based on the following focus areas:

eliminate fatalities, serious injuries and illnesses
eliminate high-consequence process safety incidents and operate with industry-leading reliability
assess and manage significant environmental risks
use energy and resources efficiently
prevent high-consequence security and cybersecurity incidents
address OE business risks through stakeholder engagement and issues management
