Valero’s Safety Assessment for Excellence (VSAFE)
VSAFE re-engineers the traditional health and safety audit and compliance model to focus on driving health
and safety excellence. VSAFE assesses the design and effectiveness of safety performance in more than 120
expectations that are key to driving culture and continuous improvement. Using a proprietary process with site
data, 昀椀eld assessments and employee/management interviews, subject matter experts work alongside site
champions at each re昀椀nery to perform this assessment every three years.
