Safety overview
Issue 30 2025

INEOS is obsessive about safety. In a potentially hazardous business, INEOS knows that complacency can cost lives. That’s why the health and safety of its employees, contractors, and site visitors will always be its highest priority. But it’s also why, when mistakes are made, it is keen to ensure valuable lessons are learned. Every time.

Safety procedures

INEOS has strict group safety procedures that sites must follow, with regular auditing and performance- based incentives.

Seven times lower

In 2024, INEOS recorded 0.2 work-related injuries or illnesses per 200,000 hours worked for employees and contractors. This is seven times lower than the average incident rate for basic chemical manufacturing in the US.

Fourfold reduction

Since 2009, INEOS has achieved a fourfold reduction in the rate of work-related injuries and illnesses.

No recordable incidents

In 2024, INEOS sites in La Porte, Geel, and Lima achieved the milestone of no recordable incidents for 15 years, eight years, and five years, respectively.
