Our primary goal when it comes to our people, customers and partners is to ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of each day.
Everything we do is underpinned by a commitment to health, safety and security.
That commitment is the foundation of our Zero Harm culture — the belief that each one of us has a responsibility to do the right thing and make decisions that count to safeguard our people, our customers, our planet and the communities where we live and work.
HSSE TARGETS for TRIR, FIR, HiPo and LTIR are based on Top Quartile performance *HSSE is referenced as HSS in this report as Environmental topics are included in our Planet section.
Our Zero Harm Commitment We remain steadfast in our commitment to zero workplace incidents.
Our Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) policy applies to KBR employees and KBR subcontractors globally.
It identifies overarching HSS principles, procedures and best practices that have been developed with the best interests of our customers, our employees and contractors, our stakeholders, and our communities in mind.
Although we are committed to basic obligations and follow all applicable laws and regulations where we operate, we go above and beyond compliance and commit to the following: ■ Protect and improve the health, safety, and security of our employees and contractors at all times.
■ Eliminate incidents through our Zero Harm culture.
■ Meet specified customer requirements and ensure continuous customer satisfaction.
■ Set HSS objectives, measure results, and assess and continually improve processes and services through an effective management system.
■ Minimize impact on the environment through pollution prevention, reduction of natural resource consumption and emissions, reduction and recycling of waste, use of recyclables, and the pursuit of circular practices.
■ Apply technical skills to all HSS aspects of engineering and design.
■ Communicate openly with stakeholders and ensure an understanding of the HSS policy, program and procedures.
Our HSS initiatives place an emphasis on continuous improvement, development, and implementation against our HSS commitments and goals, with targets set annually to reduce health and safety incidents.
KBR’s Transactional HSS Management System is built around six core processes we call the Absolutes, which are designed to plan, organize, direct and control work tasks.
the icons below for details on each of these commitments.
The Absolutes coincide with KBR’s Transformational Leadership Maxims: ■ A personal relationship with safety ■ The genuine belief that zero incidents is achievable ■ Mindset intolerant of workplace incidents ■ Zero Harm at home, work and play ■ Values-based culture, not priority based ■ Do the right thing ■ Visible inte...
Nontask behaviors are also aligned with our core management systems.
■ The setting and monitoring of HSS-related targets and objectives at all levels of the organization HSS policies, procedures and manuals provide support for business unit management to empower learning and best practice.
KBR HSS routinely assesses our internal systems and processes every two years or as needed.
The Promotion of Safe Work Practices establishes methods, responsibilities, and requirements for developing an office or project Safety Execution Plan where hazards are identified and controlled, zero incidents are aimed for, and the environment is protected.
Roles, responsibilities, expectations and strategies for management engagement within the plan support the success of KBR’s Zero Harm culture.
A key element within our organization is awareness.
This includes regular HSS training, HSS committees, toolbox meetings, poster contests, slogans, HSS milestone celebrations and similar activities that contribute to a heightened awareness of HSS and related project issues.
Project managers and team leaders are encouraged to develop awareness activities for all work locations and as part of the overall HSS program.
Additional information — such as training (when, how often, and content of training), site audits and walkthroughs — is included in the safety execution plan and is based on the scope of a project, client/owner requirements, regulatory requirements and the hazard analysis.
KBR’s Incident and Near Miss Management Procedure standardizes our HSS reporting and is applied globally across KBR.
This includes all KBR-operated sites and all contractor operations and joint ventures where there is a contractual requirement to report incidents to KBR.
The procedure defines both the work hour reporting and injury classification requirements necessary to drive consistency across KBR global operations.
It also ensures logical and consistent reporting and investigation of incidents and near misses.
All reporting is completed using the KBR Health, Safety and Environment Incident Reporting System (HSERS).
Incidents and near misses are classified based on their severity, which determines the level of internal notification.
This was an increase from as we saw a global reduction in crisis incidents (175) due to the global pandemic and lockdowns.
Incident Reporting System The HSERS is KBR’s in-house global incident reporting system.
The system is designed to report all incidents (work-related and non-occupational incidents) and is continually being updated to support the business.
Data is analyzed through interactive dashboard tools for trend analysis.
Web App Corporate HSS and Information Technology (IT) collaborated in app for all employees and subcontractors to use from their desktop or mobile phone.
We successfully delivered security solutions and crisis programs for our clients and team members throughout 2021.
The virtual security programs focused on several topics including cybersecurity, insider threats, workplace security awareness, personal safety, exercise programs and crisis management.
This program included numerous HSS actions and COVID-prevention actions, such as locating offices in safe, low-crime areas; developing work-from-home security assessments and crime prevention training; enacting COVID-19 prevention measures; and providing appropriate office security based on periodic risk assessments.
SECURITY FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL AND EXPATRIATES In reopened, business travelers and expatriates began returning to more normal travel practices.
In anticipation of this, our travel security team reviewed global security environments, local COVID-destinations and venues for our traveling team members.
We implemented a with location-specific monitoring, alerts and emergency communications for all KBR travelers.
The system includes a smartphone app for global emergency communications.
