Health & Safety Performance
Expansion 1 Project’s 43 million hours LTI free achievement
Earlier this year, the Athabasca Oil Sands Project’s (AOSP) Expansion 1 project passed a historic milestone of 43 million
hours without a Lost Time Incident (LTI) across their operations. An LTI is an accident which results in a personnel being
unable to return to work as a result of their injuries. This marked the first time in the history of the Royal Dutch Shell
Group that any project has realized this achievement.
The AOSP Expansion 1 project encompassed both an upstream oil
sands mine expansion and an upgrader expansion project. The mine
expansion project took place at Jackpine Mine, located adjacent to
the existing heavy oil operations at the Muskeg River Mine, north of
Fort McMurray. The upgrader expansion project was a 100,000 barrel
per day expansion of the existing Scotford upgrader, located near
Fort Saskatchewan. At the project’s peak, it had a construction
workforce of more than 15,000 people.
Safety is a deeply held value and culture at Shell. Their value of
safety is put into practice through their Goal Zero initiative; insistently
pursuing no harm to people and no significant incidents.
“We, as a company, are very proud of our performance, but more
importantly we’re proud of the people that put the effort into this performance,” says Winston Fynn, Health Safety and
Environment Manger, Execution.
Shell continually supports their Goal Zero initiative with programs such as the Life-Saving Rules, Golden Rules, Hearts and
Minds, and their Health Safety Security Environment (HSSE) processes and procedures. Goal Zero is the strong, simple and
memorable brand that has helped to achieve their best safety performance yet.
The Expansion 1 project’s 43 million hours LTI free was achieved through a tremendous focus on leadership, organizational
efficiency and effective communication. Shell was tenacious in building a culture of “felt leadership” which consisted of
implementing HSSE leadership training, mentoring trained leaders, improving work processes, improving work practices, and
improving engagement methods that demonstrated visible, committed and involved leadership.

The project’s focus on implementing measureable Leading HSE Indicators and setting new standards for team performance
and engagement has positively changed the way many of the contractors working for Shell conduct this part of the
business.
The active engagement in the collaborative team resulted in a step change in HSSE performance year over year. In 2009,
both project sites were individually nominated for an industry recognized Construction Owners Association of Alberta (COAA)
Safety Leadership Award – the downstream portion won the award, while the upstream site received and honorable
mention.
“A key belief I have is that you have to look after the people in order for the statistics to look after themselves,” says
Fynn.
The project performance resulted in Shell Upstream Americas completing their first Best Practices Review of Expansion 1 in
July 2010. The results demonstrated that there were key HSSE areas in which Expansion 1 had established best practices
within Shell and industry. These were captured for inclusion into a HSSE Best Practices Handbook.

Only Siberia was colder
Blistering cold cracks records
Edmonton was the chilliest place in North
America Sunday, says Environment Canada
meteorologist
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2010
Alberta second coldest place on Earth
David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada,
said Calgary struck -30C, nearly matching a 110-year-old record
for the coldest Nov. 23 ever when the mercury dropped to -32.2C.
The windchill, however, made the temperature feel like -41C.
"Alberta was colder than the North Pole," said Phillips on Tuesday.
"We're not seeing those temperatures in Russia, in Siberia ...
I think the only competition is Antarctica.
