SHE
Safety First, Every Day
At INEOS Inovyn, Safety, Health and Environmental protection are fundamental to the way we operate. Protecting people, preventing harm and operating responsibly guide every decision we make.
Our ambition is clear: zero injuries. Through strong leadership, operational excellence and a culture where everyone takes responsibility, we work every day to ensure that our employees, contractors, customers, neighbours and the environment are protected.
Safety is not simply a priority. It is a core value that underpins everything we do.

Safety, Health and Environmental protection are embedded across our business and supported by robust management systems, internationally recognised standards and the personal responsibility of everyone who works at or visits our sites.
Together, we create safe workplaces, protect the environment and support sustainable operations.

Raising Awareness Through Front-Line Engagement
Each year, INEOS Inovyn's SHE Week brings employees and contractors together to reinforce safe behaviours, deepen understanding of human factors and strengthen our culture of prevention.
Through practical workshops, demonstrations and training, colleagues share experiences, enhance their SHE knowledge and recognise the vital link between personal responsibility and operational safety. By encouraging understanding, SHE Week helps ensure that safety remains at the heart of everything we do.
Every incident is preventable and every individual has a role to play in creating a safer workplace."
Performance & Continuous Improvement
We monitor SHE performance throughout the year using a range of leading and lagging indicators. This helps us identify opportunities for improvement, reinforce positive behaviours and maintain focus on our ambition of zero injuries.
Our OSHA Recordable Injury Rate is a key indicator of safety performance. By tracking results over time and benchmarking against world-class standards, we monitor progress and drive continuous improvement.
