Health and Safety
Nothing is more important to our industries than safety. AFPM's refining and petrochemical companies have strong safety records and consistently work to improve performance to take care of our people, communities and environment. We believe that we are stronger if we work together, which is why we work closely with federal, state and local governments and agencies for the safety of everyone in and near our facilities. We are extremely proud that the refining and petrochemical industries are consistently ranked among the safest of all manufacturing industries in the country.
Enhancing Safety Through Collaboration
Collaboration is critical to the success of any project or organization. We learn and improve by bringing people together from different companies, diverse professional experiences and knowledge backgrounds. Our programs unite people to share knowledge and technology advancements to continually improve the safety, reliability and sustainability of the refining and petrochemical industries.
We work with government agencies to share information and enhance safety, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) and the EPA.
