Safety
Safety is our foundation for success.
Process safety and
operations employees
at the Valero St. Charles
Re昀椀nery
At Valero, we believe that safety and reliability are
extremely important, not only for the protection of our
employees and communities, and the cultural values
we aspire to as a company, but also for operational
success, as a decrease in the number of employee
and process safety events should generally reduce
unplanned shutdowns and increase the operational
reliability of our re昀椀neries and plants. This, in turn,
should also translate into a safer workplace with fewer
32
environmental incidents and stronger community
relations. We strive to improve safety and reliability
performance by offering year-round safety training
programs for our employees and contractors, and
by seeking to promote the same expectations and
culture of safety. We also seek to enhance our safety
performance by conducting safety audits, quality
assurance visits, and comprehensive safety and risk
assessments at our facilities.
