The NPRA Safety Awards Program is part of a comprehensive safety program developed by NPRA’s Safety and Health Committee to promote accident prevention in petroleum refining and petrochemical manufacturing industries, as well as the contractors supporting them. Additionally, the program exists to publicly recognize those facilities that, for the previous year, have achieved a high safety standard in their daily operations.
