We consider that process safety is at the heart of accident prevention, and results from applying good design and engineering principles, as well as robust operating and maintenance practices.
Galp guarantees a proactive action, based on analysis and prevention of activity risks. We monitor and analyze the process safety events that occur at our downstream and upstream facilities, and complete this cycle by conducting audits of the Company’s operations to verify the efficiency of the risk mitigation measures implemented.
In 2019, our process safety strategy has shown a positive trend, mainly in Tier 2, and we continue to work towards reducing the rate of process safety events per million hours worked.
