Protecting the health, safety and security of everyone at Shell Deer Park Chemicals – in addition to our community neighbors – remains our highest priority.
The site designs, builds, operates and maintains process units and other pieces of equipment so they protect the safety of employees, contractors, vendors and members of the community. The chemical plant has earned The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 certification for its environmental management systems.
At Shell Deer Park, our safety plan for achieving Goal Zero is built on a foundation of engagement, assurance and learning. To achieve continuous improvement in this area, we are committed to site-wide employee engagements on personal and process safety.
Employees share a common belief that the site can prevent all accidents, occupational illness and personal injuries through the commitment of the entire workforce. Shell Deer Park has 24-hour emergency response as well as ongoing programs to verify that we meet or exceed all required regulatory and company standards.
