Annual AFPM Awards Program Scope: The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities as well as contractors operating in North America on the collection and reporting of Occupational Injury & Illness Statistics, Tier 1 and Tier 2 Process Safety Events, and the annual awards program. The Guideline is not intended to replace existing reporting or information sharing processes or provide interpretations of compliance with any applicable corporate, federal, state and local regulatory standards. 2.0 Access to the AFPM’s Collection Database 2.1 Occupational Injury & Illness Statistics and Awards Each company is required to assign a Database Administrator who is responsible for assigning individuals within the company access to submit Occupational Injury & Illness Data (OSHA 300A summary log) and apply for applicable safety awards to the database. A company can choose to have a single individual input data for all sites or grant access to individuals at each site to input data. The Database Administrator for Occupational Injury & Illness Statistics has the following:

AFPM’s most prestigious award, the Distinguished Safety Award or DSA, as it is known,
recognizes those member company refineries and petrochemical plants that have attained
a superior level of safety performance in the domestic refining and petrochemical
manufacturing industries. Recipients are chosen by a selection committee represented by
members of the AFPM Safety & Health Committee. It is the selection committee’s
responsibility to carefully examine the safety performance records of individual plant
locations using the specific screening and selection criteria detailed below.
Screening Criteria
In order to qualify for the DSA, a facility must first pass the screening criteria as
described below.
1. A location must achieve the following requirements for the calendar year:
a. an employee total recordable incidence rate of 0.6 or less,
b. no employee lost workday cases involving days away from work, restriction, or transfer
(DART)
2. A location must achieve the following requirements for the calendar year:
a. A contractor total recordable incidence rate of 0.6 or less,
b. no contractor lost workday cases involving days away from work, restriction, or transfer
(DART)
3. A location must have had no employee workplace related fatalities and no non-employee
(contractor, visitor, etc.) workplace related fatalities for five consecutive years.
4. A facility will be excluded from applying if it has any of the following during the calendar year:
a. a Process Safety Event (PSE) that resulted in a days away from work case or a
restricted/transferred case of an employee, contractor, or subcontractor.
b. a PSE that resulted in a fatality of a third-party individual,
c. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community evacuation
d. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community shelter-in-place
e. any workplace fatality of an employee or non-employee (contractor, visitor, etc.).

Selection Criteria
After passing the screening criteria, the candidate facility's overall safety performance record will
be evaluated by the selection committee based on the applicant’s written application.
Distinguished Safety Award Honorable Mention (DSAH)
This award is presented to those DSA applicants that pass the DSA Screening Criteria and,
in the judgment of the Selection Committee, have exhibited exceptional safety performance
and program innovation.
4.2 Meritorious Safety Performance Award
Recipients must achieve an employee total recordable incident rate of 0.8 or less at their
site for calendar year 2011.
A facility will be excluded from receiving this award if it has any of the following:
a. a Process Safety Event (PSE) that resulted in a days away from work case or a
restricted/transferred case of an employee, contractor, or subcontractor.
b. a PSE that resulted in a fatality of a third-party individual,
c. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community evacuation
d. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community shelter-in-place
e. any workplace fatality of an employee or non-employee (contractor, visitor, etc.)
A site that applies for this award has the option of purchasing an award banner at the cost of
$90.00 for each banner. The site will be invoiced upon receiving the award in May.
4.3 Award for Safety Achievement: 1,000,000+ Employee Hours
Recipients must have worked 1,000,000 or more employee hours without a lost employee
workday involving days away from work.
A facility will be excluded from receiving this award if it has any of the following during
the evaluation period:
a. a Process Safety Event (PSE) that resulted in a days away from work case or a
restricted/transferred case of an employee, contractor, or subcontractor.
b. a PSE that resulted in a fatality of a third-party individual,
c. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community evacuation
d. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community shelter-in-place
e. any workplace fatality of an employee or non-employee (contractor, visitor, etc.)
The evaluation period for this award does not have to encompass an exact calendar year
or an even million hour increment. For example, an award may be presented for
1,235,792 hours from February 10, 2011 to December 5, 2011. Please note that the

intention of this award is to recognize achievements in 1,000,000 hour increments and
therefore, awards are only presented to those facilities that have reached the next million
hour threshold. In other words, a facility that received an award at last year's banquet for
1,200,000 hours worked and then worked an additional 500,000 hours without a lost day
case involving days away from work, would not be eligible for an award this year since a
cumulative total of only 1,700,000 hours was reached. A cumulative total of at least
2,000,000 would be required to receive the award again.
A site that applies for this award has the option of ordering hard hat decals at no charge in
increments of 50.
4.4 Award for Safety Achievement: 1+ Years
Recipients must have worked one or more years (365 consecutive days) without a lost
workday case involving days away from work.
A facility will be excluded from receiving this award if it has any of the following during
the evaluation period:
a. a Process Safety Event (PSE) that resulted in a days away from work case or a
restricted/transferred case of an employee, contractor, or subcontractor.
b. a PSE that resulted in a fatality of a third-party individual,
c. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community evacuation
d. a PSE that resulted in an officially declared community shelter-in-place e. any workplace fatality of an employee or non-employee (contractor, visitor, etc.)
The evaluation period for this award does not have to encompass an exact calendar year.
For example, an award may be presented for 1 year without a lost workday case from
October 10, 2010 to October 9, 2011, etc. Please note that awards are given for 365 day
intervals only. In other words, an award for one year and 5 months would not be granted.
A site that applies for this award has the option of ordering hard hat decals at no charge in
increments of 50.
