Berry Petroleum Company is a growing company focused on execution with a commitment to the protection of the environment and the health and safety of its employees, contractors, customers and the public.

As such, Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) considerations will be an integral part of Berry’s day to day operations and will be incorporated into the decision making process for all employees, while being supported with the appropriate level of resources, education and training.

The “Berry Systems and Actions for Excellence” (BSAFE) document (PDF file) outlines how Berry will manage the process of Environmental, Health & Safety issues through eleven specific elements.

We believe that promoting a safe and healthy workplace, striving to operate without doing harm to the environment and being a responsible corporate citizen will contribute to continued and improved business success through enhanced job productivity, lower costs, improved work quality and greater employee satisfaction.

In support of these objectives, Berry Petroleum Company will:

  • Hold its management and employees accountable for the Company's EH&S performance;
  • Clearly communicate the performance requirements and expectations of employees, contractors and other parties engaged in activities on the Company’s properties;
  • Design and manage operations to minimize environmental and human health impacts and provide a workplace free of unmitigated safety hazards;
  • Comply with all laws, rules and regulations governing Berry’s activities;
  • Recognize the importance of EH&S factors relative to economic factors;
  • Provide appropriate resources and programs supporting EH&S, which include employee training and professional staff;
  • Monitor, evaluate and periodically report EH&S performance to the employees;
  • Participate in programs designed to enhance EH&S knowledge and improve EH&S technology and standards.
