ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT • 51 Life-Saving Rules “Life-Saving Rules” are an essential part of our Goal Zero initiative. Violations of these rules carry the highest level of personal responsibility. The rules range from working without a valid work permit to failure to wear specified life- protection equipment. Through the Goal Zero webpage portal, employees are able to see why an incident was deemed a violation of Life- Saving Rules and can assess how to avoid a similar situation. Our employees and contractors are consistently reminded of their roles and responsibilities through comprehensive training and realistic field exercises that focus on critical work processes and procedures. They know that the rules simply must be followed in all circumstances to eliminate serious incidents and to get us to our Goal Zero. Seven critical rules that must be followed at all times. Work with a valid work permit when required. Verify energy isolation before beginning work. Obtain authorization before entering a confined space. Obtain authorization before overriding or bypassing a safety system. Use specified life-protection equipment. Protect yourself against a fall when working at heights. Smoke in designated areas only.
