Zero-Loss Loading, Documented Drills And A Stop-Work Culture
Every operator, contractor and visitor at Baytown works to the same rules, and every one of them has the authority to stop a job. Our safety programme is built on behaviour-based observation, daily toolbox talks and a near-miss reporting system that is reviewed by management every week.
Transfer points are protected by high-high level alarms, independent overfill protection and vapour recovery. Spill response equipment is staged at both docks and drilled quarterly with the local fire authority and the US Coast Guard sector.
- Trained and certified operators for every product family, re-assessed annually.
- Quarterly spill drills and joint exercises with USCG Sector Houston-Galveston.
- Personal protective equipment, gas detection and permit-to-work on all hot work.
- Public safety performance summary issued to customers every quarter.
Safety performance is reported alongside throughput in every customer review, because a terminal that hides its incident data is a terminal that has stopped improving.
