BSR Reaches 55 Million Safe Working Hours: A Foundation for a Sustainable Safety Culture

As of 00:30 on January 23, 2026, Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Joint Stock Company (BSR) officially reached the milestone of 55 million safe working hours, without any lost-time work accidents. This is a significant milestone, further affirming the strong commitment of the Company's leadership, along with the responsibility, discipline, and professionalism of all staff, workers, and contractors and partners working at the Dung Quat Refinery.

More than just a proud achievement, the milestone of 55 million safe working hours is also clear evidence of the Safety Culture that has been elevated, maintained, and sustainably developed at BSR , becoming a core value throughout all of the Company's production and business activities.

The Dung Quat Refinery is a large-scale industrial facility operating continuously with complex technology and stringent working conditions, posing numerous potential risks to safety, health, and the environment. In this context, safety cannot rely solely on procedures or individual experience; it requires a foundation built on correct awareness, standardized behavior, and an effective management system.

The Dung Quat Refinery operates safely and stably – a foundation that helped BSR achieve the milestone of 55 million safe working hours.

The achievement of 55 million safe working hours at BSR demonstrates that safety has transcended mandatory regulations to become a conscious effort and proactive action of each individual. From direct laborers, engineers, and experts to contractors and partners, everyone considers safety a top priority in their daily work.

One of the key factors contributing to this achievement is the consistent and unwavering commitment of BSR's leadership. Safety, health, and environment (HSE) is always identified as a central task, closely linked to the goal of safe, stable, and efficient operation of the Dung Quat Refinery. Company leaders regularly direct the review and improvement of safety procedures and regulations; strengthen on-site inspections and supervision; and directly engage in dialogue and listen to employee feedback to promptly identify and control potential safety risks.

Over the years, BSR has accelerated digital transformation in safety management, gradually modernizing its management system towards transparency, timeliness, and data-driven approaches. The digitization of processes, reporting tools, and risk monitoring and assessment has contributed to improving the effectiveness of identifying, preventing, and controlling safety hazards throughout the plant.

Simultaneously, BSR is researching and applying advanced technological solutions, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support risk identification, analyze safety trends, and provide early warning of risks. The application of AI helps the company gradually shift its safety management model from "post-incident response" to "proactive prevention," aligning with the modern management trends of the energy and oil and gas industry.

However, BSR recognizes that technology is only truly effective when built upon a solid foundation of safety culture. The achievement of 55 million safe working hours clearly reflects the harmonious combination of a modern management system and the human element – ​​where each employee is fully aware of their role and responsibility for overall safety.

The discipline and professionalism of BSR's staff and workers, along with the close coordination and strict adherence to safety regulations by contractors and partners, have created a safe, reliable, and efficient working environment. This is the crucial "shield" that has helped the Dung Quat Refinery operate stably and continuously throughout the years.

Every year, BSR employees receive theoretical and practical training on fire prevention and control.

Maintaining a high level of safe working hours not only protects workers but also significantly contributes to BSR's production and business efficiency and brand reputation. A safe working environment allows workers to confidently dedicate themselves, develop initiatives, improve labor productivity, minimize incidents, and optimize operating costs.

In its sustainable development strategy, BSR always considers safety as a core foundation, alongside the goal of enhancing competitiveness and meeting the increasingly high demands for environmental protection and energy transition.

BSR's path ahead remains challenging, requiring the safe and stable operation of the Dung Quat Refinery at high available capacity, while simultaneously implementing new projects, upgrading, and expanding the refinery. However, with the foundation of its established Safety Culture and its commitment to accelerating digital transformation and applying modern technology, BSR is confident in achieving even higher safety milestones in the future.

The milestone of 55 million safe working hours is not only a source of pride for the entire BSR team, but also a driving force for the company to continue affirming its position as a leading refining and petrochemical enterprise in Vietnam, developing in a safe, modern, and sustainable direction, and making positive contributions to the energy sector and the socio-economic development of the country.
