Safe Sites & Communities

Canadian Fuels Association (CFA) members are dedicated to the safety and health of employees, contractors and neighbours.

Canadian refineries have one of the strongest safety records in the country’s manufacturing sector. This achievement is the result of well-designed and meticulously executed systems and processes aimed at preventing incidents. Despite steady demand for petroleum products, the safety performance at our members’ refineries continues to improve. This progress is driven by the unwavering commitment to safety from all employees, ensuring a consistently high standard across operations.

Well-trained, experienced professionals, technical workers, and informed communities are essential to ensuring safe operations. For over a century, CFA members have built an excellent safety record through close collaboration with communities across Canada.

Process Safety Management fosters a strong culture of safety within all refinery operations. The foundation of safe processes and work practices lies in accident prevention and the promotion of safe behaviors. Our members adhere to all relevant government regulations, laws, permits, agency directives, and agreements, reinforcing their commitment to safety.
