Ready access to reliable and affordable supplies of energy is essential to economic progress. Turning crude oil and
natural gas into usable products to meet the world’s vast and growing energy demand requires complex facilities
and constant management of thousands of operating variables. Ensuring the safety and reliability of our operations
is fundamental to our business strategies and a critical challenge that ExxonMobil takes on every day.
ExxonMobil is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety, security, health, and environmental care. We continue
to believe that an unrelenting emphasis on flawless operations by our employees and contractors will translate into superior
business results.
In 2007 we achieved our best-ever lost-time incident rate for our combined employee and contractor workforce. Our strong
safety, health, and environmental performance is underpinned by the commitment of our employees and our contracting
partners. Our company-wide Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) provides a structured, global approach to
managing risk throughout our worldwide operations. Our OIMS system has been recognized as meeting all of the requirements
of the industry health and safety (OHSAS 18001:1999) and environmental (ISO 14001:2004) standards.
As part of the implementation of OIMS in our functional organizations, we developed integrity management systems that
improve the reliability of our operations. Our systems define equipment operating procedures and limits, establish routine
preventative maintenance schedules, and verify that integrity programs are completed. Management is involved in and
accountable for decisions that impact the performance and reliability of our facilities.
ExxonMobil is committed to the safety of our products and the health and well-being of our employees, contractors, and
customers. Our products, as well as the methods for delivering those products, are rigorously evaluated and managed.

of safety, health, and the environment as closely tied to outstanding
performance in all other aspects of our business. Our Operations
Integrity Management System has been instrumental in driving
continued safety and health improvements for over 15 years.
At our operating facilities, such as our refinery and chemical plant
in Baytown, Texas, active employee and contractor participation in
safety programs underpins our success.
