PNL adopts and actively uses a behavioral-based strategy to minimize loss. This method reaps benefits by reducing personal injury, addressing safety problems and by eliminating business inefficiencies. Behavioral-based safety management encourages Near Miss reporting and safe performance by self assessment as a supplement to mandatory procedures and safe practices. Stop work authority is given to all personnel onsite, and acting on that authority is mandated.
PNL hosts safety tips at our SafetyMoment.org site.
