HSE
focus in all we do
Health, Safety & Environment
From the Chairman & CEO
FMC Technologies’ goal is to be the leading provider of technology solutions and services to the Energy Industry. Our progress towards achieving that goal is measured not only in the dollars of revenue we earn or in the quality and innovation of the products and services we provide, but also in how we protect the health and safety of our employees, reduce the impact of our operations on the environment and support our communities. Health, safety and environmental (HSE) excellence has always been a core value of FMC Technologies. Over the past several years, our results clearly demonstrate our ability to continue to deliver a strong HSE performance, even in periods of significant change. This includes global expansion of our businesses, complex HSE challenges related to construction of new facilities and global frame agreements with our customers, and higher levels of temporary and full-time employees. These changes have also affected the way we do business. Whereas our company once centered on manufacturing, the focus has now broadened to encompass service, globalization of our processes, outsourcing and technology. Those factors, coupled with increasing demand from our customers, have resulted in more functions that must have a good understanding of HSE risks and liabilities. In 2008, we established a number of long-term objectives and this report summarizes the progress we made in 2011 toward reaching those goals. We completed another year of strong HSE performance. Our incident rates for recordable and lost workday incidents showed improvement over our 2010 results. However, despite these accomplishments, we still need to focus on four categories of recordable and near miss incidents. They include hand and finger incidents in our field service locations, automobile accidents, pressure related incidents and dropped objects.
