WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is proud to announce the winners of the 2023 Annual Safety Awards, considered the refining and petrochemical industries’ premier safety awards. They are part of a comprehensive program developed by the AFPM Safety and Health Committee to promote safe operations in our industries and recognize facilities that have outstanding occupational and process safety performance.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) proudly recognizes the winners of the 2024 Annual Safety Awards—widely regarded as the premier safety honors in the refining and petrochemical industries. These awards are a cornerstone of AFPM's comprehensive safety program, developed by the Safety and Health Committee to advance good practices, ensure safe operations, and highlight facilities that demonstrate exceptional occupational and process safety performance.
Safety is the top priority for the refining and petrochemical industries. AFPM’s members are committed to maintaining strong safety records while continuously improving performance to protect their people, communities and the environment.
Nothing is more important to the refining and petrochemical industries than safety. AFPM’s member companies have strong safety records and consistently work to improve performance to take care of our people, communities and environment.
Collaboration is the cornerstone of progress, and when it comes to safety, working together is essential. At AFPM, we believe that sharing knowledge and best practices strengthens our industries and protects the workforce. That’s why we’re proud to participate in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls, May 5 – 9, a dedicated week focused on raising awareness and improving workplace safety.
This session will introduce an integral part of maintenance and reliability engineers’ responsibilities to capital projects. How this relationship and communication is important to get safe, reliable, and maintainable equipment installed when working with a capital project team.
In this session, leaders in plant maintenance from two major companies in the fuel and petrochemical manufacturing industry will discuss the advantages of a company-wide standard process for routine maintenance. Gaining alignment on a common work practice across a large and geographically diverse portfolio can be challenging, but the resulting organizational discipline can yield improved efficiency, reliability and decision-making. The speakers will provide a high-level overview of their routine maintenance processes and share key success factors for implementing a common maintenance work practice at multiple facilities.
Participants will:
Learn the major elements of a routine maintenance process
Hear examples of strategies for a successful wide-scale implementation
Ask questions to understand how a common work practice for plant maintenance can be applied at their company
