Health and safety is an important part of any industry, but particularly so in the
petrochemical plants, which is classed as a major hazards industry. Reducing the number of
dangerous occurrences, injuries and hydrocarbon releases remains a top priority and is a key
focus of the industry’s absolute commitment to continually improving process safety standards.
No other industry puts more effort into improving its safety performance through leadership,
communication and co-operation. Transparent reporting of safety performance and learning from
accidents and incidents is achieved through information sharing at many industry safety forums.
