Wintershall’s HSE managementSystematic methodology

Our HSE guidelines are fully integrated into our activities and are by no means empty promises. The HSE management ensures that at all times all guidelines to protect health and safety at work and the environment are adequately taken into account. In addition, the system has been designed in such a way so that our business goals are aligned and can be achieved at the same time.

4 steps - 12 elements

Our intelligent HSE management system helps us reliably achieve what we really believe in: the combination of business success with safety standards, social responsibility, and environmental protection. As we plan, further develop, and monitor our HSE guidelines, we work according to an internationally recognized standard frequently used in the oil and gas industry, known as the 12-element model. The 12 elements of this model can in turn be grouped into four steps, resulting in a fully effective system for implementing our HSE guidelines.
