Syncrude’s commitment to superior environment, health and safety performance has been strengthened and streamlined following a review in 2002 and 2003 during which more than 250 employees at all levels provided their thoughts as to how Syncrude could do better.
The review resulted in the adoption of a new risk-based management system, as well as a new Environment, Health and Safety policy, that will foster continuous improvement in environment, health and safety performance. These will be stewarded by Syncrude’s General Manager of Environment, Health and Safety in concert with the entire Syncrude management team.
Syncrude’s New Environment, Health & Safety Policy
At Syncrude, we are committed to protecting and promoting the safety and well-being of our employees, our contractors, our communities and our environment.
We believe excellence and continuous improvement in environment, health and safety performance are in the best interests of all of our stakeholders. Our corporate success depends upon it.
Our desired outcomes are a workplace where everyone upholds Syncrude’s Vision, Values and Guiding Principles, a workplace that fosters the emotional and physical well-being of employees, a workplace where incidents that could harm people or the environment do not occur, and a workplace where all employees and contractors demonstrate personal commitment to operational excellence. Toward this:
- we aim for a safe and reliable operation where all risks that could compromise the health and safety of workers, or the environment, are identified, understood and managed;
- we meet all regulated standards for environment, health and safety performance as the minimum expectation;
- we integrate environment, health and safety considerations, along with economic factors, into all business decisions;
- Syncrude management takes a leadership role in advocating workplace health and safety, and environmental sustainability, in appropriate regional, provincial and national forums.
Through the efforts and collective experience of our employees and contractors, Syncrude will be an acknowledged leader in environment, health and safety performance. We will continue to improve by working together and sharing responsibility for a healthy environment, as well as the safety of our co-workers, our families, our communities and ourselves. |
