Occupational Health & Industrial Hygiene

Promoting Healthy Work Environments

At Nexen, we’re committed to anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling workplace environmental health hazards that may cause illness or impair the well-being of our employees, contractors or the community members who live or work near our operations.

Occupational Health

We’ve developed an occupational health management system – aligned with business operations – that works to promote healthy work environments, protect the health and well-being of employees and prevent occupational injuries and illnesses. This system assesses and manages:

• individual health risks
• work environment health risks
• any organizational health issues that may pose a risk to our business

Industrial Hygiene

We’ve also established an industrial hygiene management system that anticipates, recognizes, evaluates and controls workplace environmental health hazards or stressors. The components of this program include:

• hazard identification
• risk evaluation
• hazard monitoring
• control plan development and implementation
• employee training
• evaluation of controls
