Workplace security

The primary objectives of our security programs are the safety and security of all employees and contractors. In 2008, we made additional progress toward achieving these objectives, through continuation of the campaign to reinforce that Security is Everybody’s Business, including awareness programs and training of site personnel on various security program elements. Further integration of security into existing processes such as OIMS continued as well.

Efforts to strengthen our facilities are well underway. Sound physical security is a cornerstone of our security program. In the United States, Department of Homeland Security regulations are being implemented at affected sites, including the Transportation Worker Identification Credential Program and Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards.

Improvements in the reporting and analysis of security metrics will help us drive additional security enhancements through the next year and beyond.
