Health & Safety
Safety is priority one at Freeport LNG. No Exceptions. The safety of our workforce, the community in which we operate and the general public is top of mind, every day.
Freeport LNG’s safety culture is centered around three key priorities:
Safe Operations
Maintaining a proactive safety culture
Organizational Capability
Strengthening organizational capacity while focusing resources on the most critical priorities
Strategic Initiatives
Maintaining our operations management systems while measuring performance, and focusing on continuous improvement
Thanks to the dedication and vigilance of our employees in 2025, we marked notable safety performance. Our employees worked over 2 million manhours with a TRIR for the year of 0.30. As it relates to Process Safety Management (PSM), we continued to progress several key initiatives, including improvements to the MOC process, mechanical integrity program, and incident investigation process.
We also continued our work of launching company-wide safety campaigns. These campaigns are designed to increase safety awareness, reinforce safe behaviors, and reduce workplace incidents through consistent communication and employee engagement. In 2025, our safety campaigns included:
- Risk Normalization
- Process Safety Management Lessons Learned
- Fire Safety/Prevention – at work and home
Lastly, our Good Catch program and monthly safety observation tracking continued in 2025. We awarded 70 Good Catch recognitions to employees and contractors that “Saw Something and Said Something” when they observed and reported safety hazards.
At Freeport LNG our safety mission is straight forward: Safety is the top foundational pillar that defines the way we operate, taking into account the health and well-being of our employees, contractors, and communities.
The foundational pillars of Freeport LNG’s safety culture is our commitment to health & human safety and Process Safety Management (PSM).

All employees undergo regular training in areas within and outside their job role based on their defined training plan. Through a combination of work assignments, on-the-job training, training simulation, professional development, and focused continuing education, employees perform their work competently and safely. They continue to acquire the necessary skills and competencies to take on increasing levels of responsibility and job complexity. As noted above, following the June 8th incident we are significantly increasing Process Safety Management training, among others, to further reinforce a safe work environment.
Talent Attraction and Retention
We value the diverse strengths of our employees who each bring their unique skills and experience to our team. As part of the Freeport LNG team, employees work side by side with top performers in the LNG industry.
Freeport LNG is unique in terms of our location. With headquarters located in Houston, the global energy capital, and the Terminal facilities located on the Gulf Coast in Brazoria County, an epicenter of industrial, petrochemical, and natural gas-related activity, hiring local talent is a convenience we don’t take for granted.
We believe that when employees are fairly compensated, work in a safe environment, and are provided excellent benefits for them and their families, they have peace of mind.
We dedicate ourselves to developing our employees and preparing them for the next level of opportunity. When we must look outside of our workforce for talent, we offer referral bonuses to employees for referring highly qualified candidates.
As the demand for LNG talent in the United States has increased with recent new entrants into the market, Freeport LNG’s employees are natural targets of our competitors given their notable specialized LNG industry experience. While we have seen some employees leaving Freeport LNG for other opportunities, resulting in a slight year-over-year increase of our historically low turnover rate, we have had significant success in retaining the vast majority of our workforce.

| Voluntary Turnover Rate | 5.61% | 6.90% |
