Woodside Energy Group Ltd held its 2026 Sustainability Focus Session on process safety, explaining how strong sustainability and safety performance underpin its strategy through the energy transition. The company highlighted five material sustainability topics: health, safety and wellbeing; Indigenous Peoples cultural heritage and engagement; social and economic impact; environment and biodiversity; and climate and the energy transition, noting progress across all areas in early 2026.
Leaders described a company-wide Process Safety Management framework aligned with the Energy Institute’s framework and applied via a People, Process and Plant model and hierarchy of controls from design through decommissioning. Governance runs from the Board and Sustainability Committee through to frontline teams, with safety metrics embedded in the Corporate Scorecard and supported by audits and independent reviews. In 2025, senior Process Safety Critical Roles achieved 98% conformance, above the 95% target, with zero Tier 2 process safety events and one Tier 1 event during Griffin decommissioning, described as short term and localised with no lasting environmental impact; 2024 saw two Tier 2 events. Woodside outlined design features on the Scarborough Floating Production Unit to reduce major accident risk, integration of new assets such as Beaumont New Ammonia and Gippsland Basin into its framework, a structured four-level competency program, a culture of “chronic unease” and speak-up reporting, and selective use of AI tools such as an LNG train start-up advisor to support, rather than replace, human decision-making.
