Safety above all

Safety in all activities is the commitment of everyone who works at Repsol. Therefore all the petrochemical complexes and production plants or packaging and logistics centres run by Repsol’s Materials Division use rigorous safety management systems which are certified OHSAS 18001.2009 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series).

Our safety standards at Repsol Materials are based on:

• Promoting a safety culture that encourages a proper risk awareness, transparency and confidence in reporting, continuous learning and innovation.
• High qualification of our staff: continuous training schemes for our own teams and training requirements for our outsourced staff.
• Systematic risk analysis beginning with design and involving the implementation of best practices and international standards; and continuing in all our production and maintenance operations.
• Coordination with contractors through working committees and periodic safety meetings. 
  
• Establishing a continuous improvement process through field supervision and safety audits. 
  
• Implementation and training schemes for contingencies and emergencies.
  

Our goal is to operate without accidents and to preserve the safety and health of our staff as well as the environment in which we work.
