SAFETY

Care for the health and personal safety of employees and other stakeholders is an integral part of our organisational culture and business. In practice, this means that the Group does everything it can to prevent accidents, industrial failures, fires and other unwanted incidents.

The personal, process and fire safety objectives and tasks are defined in the ORLEN Group’s Personal and Process Safety Strategy. In 2020, the target values provided for in the Strategy for the combined TRR and T1 PSER were achieved.

All our OHS efforts were aimed at ensuring the highest safety standards. In 2020, the ORLEN Group continued the implementation of uniform safety standards under the ‘Safety Plus+’ project, further promotion of a work safety culture at the ORLEN Group companies by raising the awareness of safe work procedures and inspiring proactive attitudes in employees and contractors, as well as initiatives carried out on multiple fronts to further enhance the ORLEN Group’s Process Safety Management System.

For information on the projects and initiatives undertaken in 2020 with regard to occupational health and safety and process safety, see ‘Safety of employees and contractors’.

 

For information on key policies and procedures governing occupational health and safety at the ORLEN Group, see ‘Policies and internal regulations .
