AFPM collects occupational injury and illness data from all regular member refining and petrochemical sites in the U.S. annually. The information collected is from the OSHA 300A Summary Log for both company employees and contractors (contractor aggregate). This data is used to compile the AFPM Survey of Occupational Injuries & Illnesses (I&I Survey). Sites that submit data may be eligible for AFPM Safety Awards.
We understand the threat that weather events can pose. Our nation’s refiners and petrochemical manufacturers have developed robust preparedness measures that can be taken in the event of a hurricane or extreme weather event.
