Chevron Phillips Chemical recently received 24 safety awards from the Texas Chemical Council (TCC) for excellence in safety performance.
The accomplishment reaffirms the company's longstanding commitment to safe and reliable operations built upon operational excellence as part of its core business strategy.
Overall, eight company sites in Texas received recognition from TCC. The Orange and Port Arthur plants earned TCC's highest honor, the "Best in Texas" safety award. The Pasadena Plastics Complex earned the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center Award for the fourth consecutive year. The site has won the distinguished recognition every year since TCC first established it in 2018. The Cedar Bayou plant also earned the distinction for the first time. The award celebrates innovations in process safety at eligible sites with no Tier 1 and 2 process safety events within the award year.
"Chevron Phillips Chemical believes in doing the right thing the right way every time, as part of how we approach operational excellence," said Elliott Johnson, vice president of environment, health, safety and security. "These awards reinforce the importance of our approach, as well as our unrelenting commitment to 'Our Journey to Zero' strategy, which places the safety of our employees, contractors and the communities where we operate as a core company value."
"We congratulate the 2021 TCC award winners for their exceptional efforts toward safety and reliable operations," said TCC President Hector Rivero.
