Our Safety Framework
Our enterprise safety framework structure clearly lays out the commitment that leadership has to providing safe, healthy environments for our workforce and the communities we serve. Our commitment to safety requires focused efforts with an overarching structure, including policies, roles and responsibilities that enable safety programs to be managed efficiently and effectively.
Our safety governance structure facilitates an enterprisewide safety culture.
Our structure provides for a constant feedback loop on the strategic direction and execution of the enterprise safety program (ESP) within our various business units, including providing an avenue for identifying safety concerns and developing recommendations at the local level.
Our Enterprise Safety Program provides the framework we use to govern our safety process, planning and execution across our organization.
Our ESP is based on the ANSI/API Recommended Practice 1173 Pipeline Safety Management System (PSMS), which we found to be applicable across our entire enterprise and adopts ISO 45001, Management System of Occupational Health and Safety. The ESP identifies, manages and establishes a safety learning environment and continuously improves operational safety, integrity and reliability through a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.
Our enterprisewide safety requirements are applicable across all business units, with each business unit having a business-unit specific management plan.
Our safety culture facilitates identifying and mitigating risks, incident investigations, incident prevention efforts and relevant safety training.
