ConocoPhillips recognizes the importance of monitoring
occupational health of our workers. A healthier workforce
has less illness-related absenteeism and is a more productive
workforce. We conduct risk-based pre-placement and periodic
medical examinations for employees in higher health-risk
situations, either due to the remoteness of their locations (such
as offshore) or the potential for exposure to hazards (such as
emergency response personnel).
The company has more than 40 clinics in 10 countries in
order to respond to employee health needs that arise during
the workday. In countries where we have clinics but
community medical facilities are lacking, we make our
services available to the public. At our desert operation in
Algeria, for example, onsite medics provide health services to
adjacent contractors’ camps and to Bedouin groups and others
passing through the area.
Our industrial hygiene and occupational medicine standard
requires the assessment and control of workplace health
hazards, medical surveillance to monitor and validate the
effectiveness of the control measures employed and the
determination of occupational exposure limits for our workers.
The standard, which is applied and audited globally, meets
or exceeds the highest standards of the countries in which
we operate and includes many chemicals not covered by
government regulations.
