Alliance Activity.
The Lyondell Contractor Safety Council meetings are held monthly. These meetings are an excellent
opportunity for contractors to share information. Even incidents at other chemical plants are
reviewed to help prevent an occurrence at this site.
The Alliance set the following 2007 goals:
- Develop criteria guideline for onsite safety representatives
- Increase MARS quality participation and data review
- Increase MIO HSE Policy Reviews
- Implement IH Program
- Share Best Practices with other councils
- Increase communication with contractors
In addition, the following Contractor Safety Council Goals were set:
- Increase participation in delivering walk-about message
- Share new safety technology
- Improve incident reporting.
The Lyondell Contractor Safety Council has developed action plans and
tracked completion of these goals. Some of the activities completed include the following:
- Conducted MARS training for Contractor Supervisors and Safety personnel
- Established contractor IH program requirements and training
- Conducted visits to other contractor safety councils (i.e. Exxon Mobil)
Alliance Products.
Alliance activities have been incorporated into procedures and policies for contractor activities in
the Lyondell plant as opposed to the production of “stand alone” products through the alliance.

V. Upcoming Milestones
The site had 150 consecutive days "injury free" in 2007. This is quite an
accomplishment considered the work and construction operations at a petrochemical plant.
The Alliance has successfully promoted participation in the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) for
members of the Lyondell Contractor Safety Council. Thus far, two contractors have submitted
applications for the VPP and one onsite evaluation has been completed. Several other contractors
will also be submitting applications for participation in the VPP.
