BP's health, safety and environment (HSE) team has launched a safety campaign and is looking to partner with technology providers to improve safety for those working at its retail sites. BP opened an “innovation competition,” asking for submissions from “forward-thinking health and safety organizations offering technologies or solutions that can predict, prevent and/or mitigate risks experienced in our retail environments,” BP said about the campaign.

“We are always keen to hear from health and safety thought leaders who can help us further improve our safe operation, so we’re encouraging innovators to get in touch,” said Stephen Duncan, senior health safety and environmental advisor at BP.

BP is looking to collaborate with organizations with offerings in three key areas:

• Detecting and deterring reckless driving on retail forecourts and mitigating the risks posed by this behavior.
• Detecting and deterring reckless refueling behaviors at retail forecourts and mitigating the risks posed by these behaviors.
• Identifying potential sources of physical threats against our colleagues and customers and recommending protective measures to avoid future threats.

There are no restrictions on type, size or location of companies that can apply. The primary objective of this activity “is to identify and align ourselves with like-minded companies who have solutions that can support BP’s goals,” the company said.
