“Achieving the safest year in
our history is largely due to
the company leadership, the commitment of everyone in the organization, and integration with the operations team, which has allowed our health and safety team to contribute their support, knowledge and experience. It
is our responsibility to ensure that all employees return safely home, to their families, every single day. A goal of zero continues to be our target.”
Diego Perez-Claramunt, Vice President, Health Safety and Environment (HSE) & Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Safety Performance
Years of experience, innovation and hard work to improve safety systems, tools and culture culminated in 2020 becoming the safest year in company history with zero Lost Time Injuries, while recording only three incidents that required medical treatment. This record is based on long- term, steady improvement in company- wide safety performance and was achieved despite an increase in higher-risk shutdown and startup activities related to commodity prices and the pandemic. GTE’s Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF) has also been steadily decreasing for years.
