Chesapeake Energy Corporation 2006 Annual Report
Health, Safety
and Environment (HSE)
Protecting the health and safety of our employees is of critical importance to Chesapeake. We are equally committed to protecting
the world in which we live, work and play by meeting or exceeding environmental compliance regulations throughout our operating
areas. To demonstrate these commitments, the company has a growing array of comprehensive programs to ensure our employees
work safely and protect and enhance the environment.
Employee Health and Safety Commitment
Helping our employees become and stay healthy is a key strategy to help boost productivity and make Chesapeake an employer of
choice. In our ongoing effort to promote good health, we have initiated a number of wellness programs in our operating units and
at our Oklahoma City corporate headquarters to increase productivity and lower health care costs. In Oklahoma City, a 42,000-
square-foot state-of-the-art health facility provides employees and families with convenient access to the latest health equipment
and group exercise classes. Chesapeake also subsidizes family fitness center membership fees for employees in the field.
In 2006, Chesapeake introduced our employees to the Living Well program, which offers financial incentives to employees to achieve
and maintain healthy and productive lifestyles through education, motivation and intervention. The program’s success was so
great, this year Living Well has been extended to include field office employees. Today, more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom
work in field locations, are enrolled in the program.
Chesapeake has recently been admitted to an elite group of organizations that make up the Health Enhancement Research
Organization (HERO). HERO is a nationwide, research-based coalition of organizations with common interests in health promotion,
disease management and health-related productivity research. Chesapeake is proud to join the HERO coalition, which is striving
to shift the paradigm from a health system focused only on diagnosis and treatment to one that focuses on prevention and productivity.
