FAQs

What does 'HSE' stand for?

HSE stands for Health, Safety and Environment.

What type of safety program do I need to work for Shell?

A contractor needs to have an integrated, and preferably mature, HSE management system to obtain work from Shell. Contractors that do not have an HSE Management System or one that meets Shell’s requirements may be considered for work by exception with additional controls added to mitigate the HSE risks.

Will our company’s HSE Management System be audited?

In order to ensure that Shell’s “Goal Zero” can be realized, our contractor assessment process may be used to determine if a Contractors HSE Management System is mature and aligned with Shell’s. The assessment process is used both in the tendering process to work for Shell and the on-going work performed after contractor selection.

What is meant by ‘Goal Zero’?

It means zero deaths, zero injuries and zero significant incidents. We measure Goal Zero by the number of “zero” days. A zero day is one where there are no fatal incidents, personal injuries (company, contractors or third parties) or any other significant incidents such as large spills.
