Our HSSE Vision, Beliefs, and Policy forms the cornerstone of our HSSE Management System. The HSSE Management System is composed of various administrative elements that describe how we will perform and the expectations of all employees and contractors relative to HSSE activities. The HSSE Management System includes our HSSE principles, policies, procedures, work instructions, and guidelines.
It is our intention to create and sustain a workplace free from recognized safety and health hazards.
We work to accomplish this goal through a variety of proactive means, such as HSSE policies, training, procedures, audits, inspections, incident evaluations, data analysis, reporting, and communications. The following topics are a sample of what is included in the Genesis Energy HSSE Procedure Manual:
Genesis Energy establishes safety targets on an annual basis. The targets are determined by senior HSSE management and operations management and reviewed and approved by the Executive Management Team. Company results relative to the target are used for a variety of internal purposes, including short-term and long-term compensation calculations.
The work hours used to calculate Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) vary across our business segments. Genesis Marine work hours are calculated using the American Waterway Operators (AWO) Safety Statistics Instruction Manual and account for vessels being in operation 24 hours per day 365 days a year. Genesis Alkali work hours are calculated using actual hours worked for non-exempt employees and 8.5 hours a day times working days per month for exempt employees on-site in Green River, Wyoming. Hours for corporate staff located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are calculated by multiplying the total number of employees by 173.3 (work hours per month). The work hours for all other Genesis business segments and the corporate office located in Houston, Texas, are based on the actual hours worked as documented in the company payroll system.
Since we operate very diverse and unique business segments, our overall TRIR and LTIR rates are not relatable to those of our peers. We compare Genesis’ previous years’ targets and results in order to set meaningful goals for the future. We pursue continual improvement of our safety statistics across all of our business segments.
We review contractor safety statistics as part of our contractor qualification process and collect and review recordable incidents and hours for key contractors.

Genesis Energy provides all employees with access to a comprehensive support services program that covers family, health, work, legal, and personal assistance. This Employee Assistance Program is free of charge and provides support for both occupational medicine management and drug and alcohol misuse.
The safety of those living or working near our pipelines is a top priority at Genesis Energy. Our Public Awareness Program is designed to provide information and education for those in close proximity with our pipelines. The program provides steps on how to react to an active pipeline emergency, along with key facts for reducing or preventing pipeline emergencies through awareness of safe excavation practices. It also provides reference to the National 811 Call System.
