(VPP) 20th anniversary
celebration at Valero Texas
City Refinery.
Safety Initiatives Implemented
in 2022
Valero Safety Excellence Program (VSEP) This tool aligns field audits with our proprietary
Valero Safety Excellence (VSAFE) assessments to
help support and drive continuous improvement
at our facilities. The revised “peer observation tool,”
within VSEP, builds upon the principles of a traditional
behavior-based safety program. It emphasizes hazard
identification and mitigates risk by encouraging
personalized and meaningful conversations between
employees and contractors.
2022 Highlights in Safety
1
Electronic Energy Isolation List (eEIL) 2 Protecting personnel from hazardous energy
during maintenance activities is one of the most
critical tasks routinely performed at our facilities, and
tolerance for error is zero. Valero is implementing an
eEIL system to increase efficiency while ensuring better
protection of our employees and contractors.
Contractor Selection and Prescreening
Criteria - We enhanced the contractor
evaluation and selection prescreening criteria to
encourage continuous improvement and selection of
best-in-class contractors.
