Safety

Initiatives aimed at ensuring safe working conditions for employees of the ORLEN Group and its external contractors, as well as safety of operational and production processes, are seen as a priority.

GRI Disclosures:

With this in mind, we implement multifaceted activities designed to continuously improve our work safety culture and maintain and develop effective safety standards.

In 2021 we continued efforts under the ORLEN Group’s 2017–2021 Personal, Process, and Fire Safety Strategy.

As assumed in the Strategy, the key areas of focus in the pursuit of strategic objectives included:

  • Continuing implementation of uniform safety standards across the ORLEN Group under the Safety Plus+ project;
  • Improving the contractor management system and developing contractors’ commitment for the shared vision of working together to create a safe workplace;
  • Initiating, designing, and implementing projects and solutions addressing the need to counter the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Undertaking diverse activities aimed at increasing occupational safety awareness and promoting proactive attitudes among our staff and contractors.

In 2021, we drafted the ORLEN Group’s Development Directions in Personal and Process Safety for 2022–2026. One of the key initiatives will be to provide support in the area of occupational safety in connection with the acquisition of control over new companies and groups of companies. To this end, a coherent occupational safety management system will be created within the ORLEN Group, mainly with respect to the companies incorporated recently into the Group. A common work safety policy will be defined and implementation of uniform safety standards across the ORLEN Group will be planned.

One of the key targets will be to maintain the following occupational safety KPI levels: TRR1) no higher than 1.70 and T1PSER) no higher than 0.3, while implementing the processes of acquisition of equity control over new companies and groups of companies.

For information on the projects and initiatives undertaken in 2021 with regard to occupational health and safety and process safety, see ‘Occupational health and safety’ .
