Working Safely: A Core Value

At Nexen, we believe creating a safe working environment is the most important work we do and that’s why every day, our employees and contractors strive to ensure oil and natural gas production occurs in a safe manner, with zero harm to people, communities and the environment. It takes a continual and combined series of integrated activities to be a leading health and safety performer and we work towards that goal through:

  • strong safety awareness
  • consistent work practices
  • proactive hazard identification
  • rigorous risk mitigation, especially for non-routine work
  • recognition and support for safety performance

We’re committed to providing our employees and contractors with clear expectations about safe on-the-job performance and to ensure ongoing safety training and resources support are provided everywhere we operate.
