Savannah refinery receives Nustar chairman’s award
NuStar Energy L.P. presented its Savannah refinery with the company’s highest health and safety award for the site’s outstanding performance in 2011 during a management meeting July 12.
NuStar has 46 employees at its Savannah Asphalt Refinery, 7 Foundation Drive.
The employees were recognized for their zero recordable and zero lost time employee and contractor injury rates, as well as for demonstrating continuous improvement in safety awareness and stewardship and continuous compliance with process safety management requirements.
The site’s safety performance is measured against the performance of NuStar’s other locations internationally, and the company’s executive leadership team selects a site or region for the honor each year.
“This is a huge achievement for the Savannah Refinery employees, as we were acknowledged in front of our peers, NuStar’s executive leadership team and the company’s chairman, Mr. Bill Greehey,” said Vice President/General Manager Wren Mills.
