Executive SummaryDelivering Today for a Better TomorrowDelivering Today for a Better Tomorrow, Fluor’s 2006<strong>Health</strong>, <strong>Safety</strong> and <strong>Environmental</strong> (HSE) AnnualReport, provides an overview of HSE activities andac<strong>com</strong>plishments during the past year and discusses howthey support our future objectives and goals. To delivertoday for a better tomorrow, Fluor is focusing is onsustainable development and global responsibility, of whichHSE is a major <strong>com</strong>ponent.Fluor delivers HSE performance every day, as evidenced byHSE metrics in the Delivering Performance section of thisAnnual Report. Fluor is proud to announce that we have hadanother year with no notices of violation for environmentalissues. Our performance in health and safety continues to beworld-class. With considerably more office and field hours<strong>com</strong>pared to 2005, Fluor employees and subcontractorsended 2006 with a lost workday case rate of 0.07, a restrictedworkday case incidence rate of 0.09, and a total recordablecase incidence rate of 0.42 per 200,000 hours worked.In our Supplier Diversity Program, Fluor achieved diversityspending of $495 million in 2006 or 15.4 percent of the $3.2billion spent with U.S.-based suppliers and contractors. OurSCORE! tool continued to be a major resource in achievingambitious supplier diversity goals.A number of interviews in the Annual Report highlight HSEperformance, activities, and expectations. Manuel Juncotalks about HSE in the Energy & Chemicals downstreamsector of the <strong>com</strong>pany, while Steve Dobbs discusses theintegration of sustainable development into our workprocesses. Larry Krushelnitzky, with Imperial Oil, and JimFlood, with ExxonMobil, share their perspectives on Fluor’sHSE performance on their projects and how Fluor and their<strong>com</strong>panies work together as integrated teams.Our successful HSE performance is evidenced with thenumber and variety of external awards received and notedin the Delivering Success section of this Annual Report.That recognition extends from award-winning engineeringdesign, such as the Sir William Hudson Award / AustralianEngineering Excellence Award, to being named one of thesafest <strong>com</strong>panies in America by Occupational Hazardsmagazine. Our performance is further recognized by thelarge number of external articles, papers, and presentationsthat our employees deliver on HSE-related topics, as wellas third-party HSE certifications, including AS 4801 – anAustralian occupational health and safety certification that isnew for Fluor.Notwithstanding the global <strong>com</strong>petition for HSE resourcesthat existed in 2006, Fluor continued to provide high-qualitypersonnel to projects. Fluor’s HSE engineering and fieldpersonnel can be found in offices and site locations aroundthe world, as shown on the map in the Delivering HSEResources section of this Annual Report. These employeesreceive extensive HSE training, as illustrated by threeexamples given in this Report – a Process Hazards AnalysisFacilitation training course, an HSE Fundamentals trainingcourse for new hires, and an application of behavior-basedsafety in Indonesia. In addition, in 2006 Fluor enhancedthe knowledge tools that are available to Fluor employeesand subcontractors, including our HSE KnowledgeCommunity, procedures in the HSE Management System,and a new incident tracking system. Finally, use ofManaging <strong>Safety</strong> to Zero SM program increased, allowing amore proactive approach to handling safety at work sites.Notable HSE achievements are highlighted in the DeliveringProjects section of this Annual Report. The projectsspotlighted in that section range from a petrochemical plantin China that earned an outstanding safety record of 23million work hours without a lost time or recordable HSEincident, to remediation of a uranium-contaminated site inthe U.S.Fluor’s strong HSE culture has always placed a high valueon awareness, as noted in the Delivering HSE Awarenesssection of this Annual Report. During 2006, employeeshad a successful HSE Week – Education and Leadershipin Sustainable Development – and initiated a monthlynewsletter called HSE Matters, because it does. The HSEslogan contest winning entry was BEE Accountable, whilethe winner of the Children’s HSE Poster Contest washonored by having her poster incorporated into HSE Week.Sustainable Development permeates every aspect of HSEdelivery at Fluor, as described in the Delivering SustainableDevelopment section of this Annual Report. For example,through our College Relations program, Fluor developednew relationships with 13 universities and continued toprovide grants and scholarships to institutes of higherlearning and students across the globe. These programsprovide for future generations of educated workers whocan continue to better the <strong>com</strong>munities in which we work,even after we are no longer there. In addition, <strong>com</strong>munityactivism continued, with a number of <strong>com</strong>pany andemployee initiatives and activities.Finally, we look ahead to continual improvement in theDelivering for the Future section of this Annual Report.We expect to expand our behavior-based safety / humanperformance improvement processes, increase the use ofa skills inventory database, emphasize HSE engineeringactivities and processes, and expand initiatives in the areaof sustainable development, with the unveiling of a GlobalResponsibility web site.


Delivering Performance<strong>Health</strong> and <strong>Safety</strong> PerformanceOverall, for office and field (self-perform andsubcontractors) Fluor ended the year with a restrictedworkday case incidence rate (DART-R) of 0.09, a lostworkday case rate (DART-L) of 0.07, and a total recordablecase incidence rate (TCIR) of 0.42 per 200,000 hoursworked.Office OperationsIn 2006, Fluor’s office exposure hours increased 24% fromapproximately 22 million hours in 2005 to approximately 27million hours. Also in 2006, Fluor showed improvementsin the health and safety performance rates for our officeoperations:2005 2006Total recordable case incidence rate 0.05 0.04Restricted workday case incidence rate 0.00 0.00Fluor offices experienced one lost workday case in 2006, forover 27 million worldwide exposure hours, resulting in a rateof 0.01 per 200,000 hours worked.Field Operations (self-perform + subcontractors)• Exposure hours for self-perform and subcontractors<strong>com</strong>bined increased 18 percent from approximately 240million hours in 2005 to approximately 280 million hoursin 2006.• With an 18 percent increase in work hours, fieldoperations ended 2006 with restricted (DART-R) andrecordable case (TRCIR) incidence rates of 0.10 and 0.46respectively.As work hours increased in global field operations so didthe number of lost workday cases (DART-L) from 16 in2005 to 33 in 2006, resulting in an overall lost workdaycase (DART-L) incidence rate of 0.08. This slight increasewas highlighted in Fluor’s Project <strong>Safety</strong> Alert Systemand has driven increased focus in specific areas of incidentprevention outlined by performance improvement initiativesin the HSE Management System.Incidence RatesLost Workday Cases(with days away)per 200,000 hours worked:.08 .06 .06 .05 .05 .07*2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006.87Total Recordable Casesper 200,000 hours worked.64.50.37.46 .42*2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006* Combined: Office + Field (Self-Perform & Subcontractor)


Delivering PerformanceExecutive InterviewManuel Junco, Group Executive,Energy & Chemicals, Discusses HSEManuel Junco is responsible forFluor’s Downstream businessline within the Energy &Chemicals Group.The increasing demand forenergy is one of the mostpressing global issues and hasresulted in a flurry of activityin the downstream Energy andChemicals sector. How has thisaffected Fluor’s business inthis sector?Junco: We’re currently in a period of unprecedented growthin the downstream Energy and Chemicals business. Thereare three main reasons for this. First, there’s significantinvestment in the segment after a 15 to 20-year period whenthere was virtually none. Second, the crude slate is changingto lower quality crude. Finally, we’re benefiting from thegrowing demand for cleaner fuel. All of these things play toour strengths.Is the nature of your business unique from an HSEperspective? If so, how?Junco: Our projects typically have two things in <strong>com</strong>mon.We generally find ourselves working in an operatingrefinery, and our work tends to be very labor intensive.Some of our mega projects can easily employ between 5,000and 6,000 craft personnel at peak. Those two factors createsome inherent risks. So we have to constantly focus onall aspects of HSE to avoid potentially harmful and costlyconsequences. Our clients today are extremely sensitive toHSE issues, and so are we.You’re the risk manager for Fluor’s E&C business. Whatdoes that role entail?Junco: My role as E&C risk manager is to make certainthat each office has its own risk representative and thatwe’re properly following our risk management proceduresacross all projects. We go through a rigorous process at thebeginning of every project to identify possible risks and howto mitigate them. These risks can run the gamut from projectexecution to HSE issues to geopolitical situations and arereviewed on a quarterly basis.11Is there a direct link between Fluor’s focus on health,safety, and the environment and the <strong>com</strong>pany’s ability tomanage risk? Can you explain?Junco: Yes. Absolutely there’s a link. Risk management andHSE go hand-in-hand.There can be serious financial and reputation consequencesif you don’t manage HSE risks appropriately. But I think itgoes beyond that. I really believe that the quality of Fluor’sproject execution is directly linked to the quality of our HSEprogram. Simply put, the better our focus on HSE, the betterthe project quality and vice versa.Is Fluor’s HSE Management System a differentiator foryour business? If so, how do you take advantage of it withcurrent and potential clients?Junco: A first-rate HSE management program is a givenin our business today. Our clients expect it. I believe we’reahead of the <strong>com</strong>petition in many areas, but we have tocontinually strive to get perfect scores. The differentiator,I believe, is our passion. Our clients know that we arepassionate about HSE because they see us demonstrating itwith words and actions. For example, the fact that we startall of our meetings with an HSE Topic may sound trivial, butit’s actually very significant. It’s a constant reminder to ouremployees and our clients that we’re always thinking aboutHSE.The <strong>com</strong>petitive environment in which Fluor operatesdrives continuous improvement to stay ahead of the pack.What can Fluor do to improve its HSE performance?Junco: I think the organization should strive to morerapidly embrace new HSE systems and improvements likeManaging <strong>Safety</strong> to Zero and the Change Impact AssessmentTool. We’re trying to accelerate change by improvingthe way we roll out our HSE programs. We’re helpingemployees deal with information overload by makingthe training more personal and interactive. The quickeremployees understand how HSE benefits a project and thebottom line, the better off we’ll be. Driving change is an areawhere we’re learning constantly.


Delivering PerformanceJunco Interview (continued)At Fluor, we define sustainable development as meetingthe needs of our clients by conducting our business in asocially, economically, and environmentally responsiblemanner to the benefit of current and future generations.What does this mean for your business, the people whowork in it, and your clients?Junco: The way I look at it, the best and only way toconduct business is to do what you say you will. We can’tjust say we’re serious about sustainable development. Wehave to act that way. When we do that, our clients developa level of trust and confidence in us that makes them wantto do business with us. If clients see us really focusing onsustainable development rather than just talking about it,we’ll keep getting work from them.As for our employees, let’s face it. We’re in a tight marketand it’s hard for some <strong>com</strong>panies to attract, hire, and retainthe best people. Our employees recognize that Fluor isunique, and they’re proud to work for a <strong>com</strong>pany thatpractices what it preaches about sustainable development.Their level of trust and confidence in the <strong>com</strong>pany is veryhigh. Sustainable development is as much about the future asit is about today. Fluor has been in business for nearly 100years, and it’s our job to make certain we’re in business foranother 100 years.Part of sustainable development is building solidrelationships with the <strong>com</strong>munities and <strong>com</strong>munity leadersin areas where we conduct business so we can understandtheir cultures and social, economic, and environmentalpriorities. Can you give an example of this <strong>com</strong>munityinvolvement in your business?Junco: I’m very passionate about the importance of<strong>com</strong>munity involvement. Let me give you two examples. Werecently opened a new office in Kuwait. The office manager,JP Zacaropoulus, and his team have worked very closelywith a local university to support the engineering curriculum.They’re teaching courses in chemical engineering and gasprocessing, as well as courses on why engineering is a goodcareer choice. This is good for the <strong>com</strong>munity becausestudents are getting first-rate training, which will benefit thepeople of Kuwait and its economy for many years. It hasManuel Junco and Mentoring Circle - left to right: Gia McCoy, Reagin Parnell, Manuel Junco, Shirley Yelverton, Ranjit Nakka12


Delivering PerformanceJunco Interview (continued)also been good for Fluor because we’ve used the connectionto hire some of the university’s best engineers. This is a winwinrelationship which will be beneficial for a long time.South Africa is another example. We’re involved in trainingcenters there and have helped train tens of thousands of craftpersonnel. This is exciting because almost all of the trainersare black South Africans, who are passionate about whatthey are doing for their <strong>com</strong>munity and their country.In another example in South Africa, we’ve formed ajoint venture with a Durban based, disadvantaged-owned<strong>com</strong>pany that has been extremely successful, and we’recurrently working with them on two refineries. South Africahas a desperate need to upgrade the economic base for itsdisadvantaged black citizens and what we are doing there isa great example of how Fluor can make a difference in the<strong>com</strong>munities where we work.Fluor’s Managing <strong>Safety</strong> to Zero program proactivelyobserves and measures unsafe acts and unsafe conditionsso that their root causes can be determined. How has thismade a difference to the downstream E&C business?Junco: Getting to zero by managing leading indicatorsversus reacting to accidents is not necessarily a new concept.What is different about our Managing <strong>Safety</strong> to Zeroprogram is our software program that enables a site teamto analyze trends quickly and deal with them. It helps us toproactively address issues, rather than just reacting to them.Another innovative part of the program is our desire forcraft employees to tell us how we’re doing with HSE andto re<strong>com</strong>mend changes. This is ac<strong>com</strong>plished through ananonymous survey, and I can tell you that they don’t holdback. And it is really making a difference. Feedback I getfrom clients is that our Managing <strong>Safety</strong> to Zero program isunique. Whatever sets us apart from the <strong>com</strong>petition is a realbenefit to our business.Fluor has dramatically increased its hiring in recentmonths to meet the needs of our clients. Does this presentchallenges from a health, safety, and environmentalperspective and how is Fluor dealing with thesechallenges?Junco: Sure. Training as many new people as we’verecently hired is a challenge. Over the last couple of years,we’ve almost doubled our training budgets to address thisissue. Some of these new employees have previous Fluorexperience, so they really only need a refresher on Fluor’sHSE culture. For the others, we’ve developed a detailedorientation program that describes Fluor’s HSE culture andexpectations and that provides extensive classroom trainingbefore they’re ever assigned to a project.I’d also like to mention something about our mentoringprogram. I think this program is an exceptional way to helpour employees as their careers evolve, but it’s also a greatway to emphasize our HSE culture to them.What is the biggest hurdle for HSE today, and what areyour thoughts on how to handle it?Junco: I believe our biggest hurdle is to instill in our newemployees the understanding that HSE is a core value forFluor and that for us to be successful, they need to do morethan just learn the HSE training we give them. They needto be passionate about implementing it on the job. I was ona jobsite yesterday where we are just starting constructionand where 70 percent of the employees are new to Fluor.The very first words I said to them were about Fluor’s<strong>com</strong>mitment to HSE. I wanted them to understand and seemy passion for it.13

Delivering Resources“In order to provide significant value to our clients and shareholders, it is vital to recruit talentedindividuals to the <strong>com</strong>pany, develop them, and ultimately retain them. We use a number ofapproaches to ac<strong>com</strong>plish these objectives. For example, our executives are encouraged to leadmentoring circles, which consist of employees who receive broad exposure to the <strong>com</strong>pany’sleaders in a team-based setting. Employees are urged to participate in our publication andpresentation program - P4 – for their personal enrichment and to share their knowledge. Wealso provide a significant amount of technical training and numerous programs designed toexpand perspectives on a range of topics. Highlighted in this section of the HSE Annual Reportare activities specific to HSE personnel and some of the HSE tools available to the <strong>com</strong>pany.”Jeff FaulkGroup Executive, Energy & ChemicalsHSE Strategic Office LocationsRecruiting and RetentionTo support the increase in project HSE needs around theglobe, the HSE Human Resources (HR) function workedclosely with HSE business line and regional leads, projectpersonnel, and global HR representatives to fully understandand quickly staff HSE positions. For external resources,Internet recruiting was used on an unprecedented scale tosupplement local job fairs and a strong referral environment.To better identify and draw on internal resources, the HSEorganization began using Fluor’s “Skills Inventory” (SI)database to capture not only education, certifications,experiences, and skill sets of employees, but also theirpreferences and availability for assignments. This allowedmanagement to more quickly match employees to positions.According to Janet True, Director of HSE HR, “We’reexcited about what the SI can do to help projects andemployees equally in achieving their goals.”Throughout 2006, our HSE Group supported a numberof stand-alone projects as well as ongoing operationalactivities. We staffed a wide range of HSE positionsincluding engineers, department managers, site managers,and construction and operations personnel.Operating from strategic office locations in the UnitedStates, Canada, the United Kingdom, and The Netherlands,we supported project sites and client office locations inNorth America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, andAustralia.20


Delivering ResourcesPeople DevelopmentMike Martin, HSE Director provides training on environmental regulatory <strong>com</strong>plianceFluor is <strong>com</strong>mitted to delivering a <strong>com</strong>petent workforcethat demonstrates the ability to apply the knowledge, skills,and personal attributes required to do their jobs properly.A 2006 highlight was the successful implementation ofthe HSE Functional Development Forum (FDF) program.This program identifies and develops individuals who havethe desire and capability to be<strong>com</strong>e recognized experts inHSE. FDF members represent the HSE function acrossthe globe and across business lines. Members sponsoredapproximately two dozen professionals identified ashaving the potential to be<strong>com</strong>e functional leaders, and theypersonally mentored these outstanding professionals. “Thisis the first time that we’ve pulled together design and fieldpersonnel into a shared program, furthering the integrationof the HSE resources approach”, stated Nancy Kralik, Chair,HSE FDF.TrainingFluor recognizes that HSE training is essential forimproving the <strong>com</strong>petencies not only of HSE personnel butall employees. To achieve this end, a variety of trainingprograms and formats, from real-time on-line courses toinstructor-led seminars, are available throughout the year.What follows are three examples of training delivered in2006.Process Hazards Analysis Facilitator Training Class,Houston, Texas , USAIn July 2006, Corporate HSE presented a week-long courseto certify individuals in Process Hazards Analysis (PHA)Facilitation. Participants came from Fluor’s Mexico City,Gliwice, Camberley, New Delhi, Richland, Greenville,Shanghai, Calgary, and Houston offices. A client alsoparticipated.The course was instructed by PHA experts Mark Dejmek,Fluor’s technical functional expert in Quantitative RiskAssessment (QRA) methodology, and Gerald Livingston,Senior HSE Engineer.The class was structured so that equal time was spent inlectures and in realistic workshops. By the end of the class,the following critical facilitation elements had been covered:•••••••Preparing for the PHAScoping the PHACollecting informationSelecting the teamLeading a meetingDocumenting results using PHA-Works softwareProducing a PHA report21

At the end of theclass each participant earned a certificate and 2.0 ContinuingEducation Credits credits.HSE Fundamentals Training, Greenville, S. Carolina, USATo support newly hired HSE professionals, an intensiveHSE fundamentals program was developed and successfullyimplemented in November 2006. The course provided astrong grounding in Fluor’s HSE Management System sonew recruits are well versed in Fluor practices and culture.Behavior-Based <strong>Safety</strong> (BBS),Duri, IndonesiaAlthough the core elements of BBS have always been partof our HSE Management System, a more focused approachwas implemented in early 2006 as a pilot program on theChevron TF-FPM project in Indonesia. The aim of the BBSprogram is to simultaneously increase safe work practicesat the individual level while reducing at-risk behaviors andstrengthening employee <strong>com</strong>mitment to an HSE culture.Seventeen participants came from Ireland, Mexico, China,Jamaica, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Puerto Ricoand the United States. Trainers for the course were HSEManagers and Trainers Frank Aleman, Althea McGuigan,and Jessica Bohart. Guest experts in OSHA, environmentalawareness, quality, and worker <strong>com</strong>pensation also spoke atthe training sessions.Course objectives included developing a working knowledgeof key practices and procedures of Fluor’s Operating SystemRequirements (OSR) and HSE Management System. Avariety of topics and activities were included at the HSEprofessional level to illustrate important course learning aswell as to build participant engagement and contribution.One of the participants, Fearghal Cunningham from FluorIreland, said that the class “…re-emphasized a <strong>com</strong>mitmentto total HSE, at work and at home…”First BBS training class in Duri.For this project, nine categories were identified whereat-risk behaviors were observed in areas such as vehicles,pre-job planning, and ergonomics. A baseline was thenestablished that reflected the number of at-risk behaviorsidentified for each category. Specific training and guidancewere provided to employees to enable them to implement awork observation process. This mutual learning opportunityreinforced potential consequences of at-risk behaviorsand, at the same time, shared safe work choices. Datawere collected that provided an opportunity to identifyand follow-up on areas where work behaviors could besystematically targeted to improve HSE performance.By the end of the year, results from the Chevron oil drillingsite showed a five percent safe work behavior increase overthe baseline with the program firmly established as a coreHSE initiative. The BBB program has delivered benefits ofincreased safe work behavior, higher levels of awareness,and the engagement and involvement by personnel across alllevels of the project team.Participants work with the on-line HSE Management System to provideresponses for HSE case scenarios.22

Delivering ProjectsClient InterviewLarry Krushelnitzky,Imperial Oil Project ManagerImperial Oil has partnered with Fluor on two major refineryprojects in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada since 2001, mostrecently for the Strathcona ULSD Project. Both projectsinvolved bringing sulfur levels in fuels refined at the siteinto regulatory <strong>com</strong>pliance. Larry Krushelnitzky was projectmanager for Imperial Oil on both projects. He shares histhoughts on some of the health, safety, and environmentalaspects of the projects and how Fluor and Imperial Oilworked together to address them.The average temperature in Edmonton, Alberta, Canadais –15°C in the winter, with extremes in the –50°C range.What steps did Imperial and Fluor take on the StrathconaProject to address the impact of extremely cold weather onworker health and safety?Krushelnitzky: Clearly, weather is a consideration here.For example, we had a predetermined shutdown strategy.Our people knew not to report to work any day the windchill was minus 30 or below. That happened a few times.For the most part, however, we had to find ways to get thework done in the face of extreme weather. That started withfundamentals like holding safety meetings to ensure thateveryone understood frostbite symptoms and the importanceof wearing proper clothing such as parkas, coveralls, andgloves – all of which we provided to the workforce. We alsoscheduled more frequent work breaks when our people wereexposed to extreme elements and covered work areas intarps and used heaters to keep them reasonably <strong>com</strong>fortable.Snow removal was also critical. We brought our snowremoval crews in early to clear the parking lot and walkwaysso that our people would not have to tramp through thesnow. We also applied a gritty paint to platforms and decksso people walking there would not slip when the steel gotvery cold and slippery.How important is health, safety, and environmentalperformance in Imperial Oil’s selection of contractorsfor a project? What criteria do you use in selecting acontractor and how closely do you scrutinize its past HSEperformance?Krushelnitzky: <strong>Health</strong>, safety, and environmentalperformance is our most important criterion for selectingcontractors. When we look at an EPC contractor, we want tomake sure that we are aligned on HSE values and beliefs.When Fluor was awarded its first contract at the StrathconaRefinery – for the PRISM project, we had a two-dayworkshop with senior managers from Fluor and ImperialOil to review and reinforce beliefs and values for managingsafety. The results speak for themselves – 700,000 work hourswith no lost time injuries.On the ULSD Project, almost 40 percent of the Fluorconstruction management staff had been involved withPRISM. We were <strong>com</strong>fortable with their beliefs and valuesaround safety, which enabled us to spend energy on lessonslearned and to work to zero injuries.We brought the Fluor construction manager and constructionsafety manager into the home office at the beginning ofthe project and focused on developing an upgraded safetyprogram. Constructability and safety in design were keyfocus areas. We had strict safety criteria for contractors tomeet before they were allowed to bid on a job for the project.Subcontractor supervisors were screened for safety resultsand experience on previous jobs. Any contractor with morethan 30 people on the job was required to have a dedicatedsafety advisor and we used internal benchmarks and leadingindicators to monitor performance and audit safety. Thisproject was also <strong>com</strong>pleted with no lost time injuries.The Strathcona Project is in close proximity to privateresidences. What steps are taken to deal with issues such asnoise? How do Strathcona Project managers reach out tothe local <strong>com</strong>munity?Krushelnitzky: We invest a lot of energy into<strong>com</strong>municating with our neighbors, because we are an urbanrefinery. We are bordered by an industrial area to the east,a city park to the west, and just beyond the river on ournorthern boundary is a residential area.29


Delivering ProjectsKrushelnitzky Interview (continued)Strathcona ULSD Project Aerial ViewThe <strong>com</strong>munications is two-way – not only do we reachout to the <strong>com</strong>munity, but we also have ways for the<strong>com</strong>munity to reach out to us. We are proactive in advisingour neighbors through mail of significant events such asturnarounds and the startup of a new process unit. We alsohave a phone line for neighbors to call us if they have anyconcerns.For large projects, there is a permit process involvingenvironmental regulators. As part of that process, we holda <strong>com</strong>munity open house to explain what the project is allabout before we begin the work.Engineering and construction projects sometimesinvolve environmental issues. Were there environmentalconsiderations for the Strathcona Project and, if so, howwere they addressed?Krushelnitzky: The projects here have beenenvironmentally driven – helping the refinery meetgovernment regulations on sulfur levels in fuel. Ourdesign specifications for equipment include environmentalconsiderations such as low noise equipment and low NOXburners on furnaces.The Strathcona Project required lifting some extremelyheavy equipment. Can you explain what was lifted and the<strong>com</strong>plexity involved? What are some of the safety issuesinvolved in lifting heavy equipment, such as vessels andreactors, and what techniques are employed to deal withthem?Krushelnitzky: The largest lifts were two reactors each 14feet in diameter, 110 feet high, weighing 365 tons apiece.That required precise planning, which was basically led byFluor, and we relied on their engineering experience andprocedures.For example, we had to excavate one of the roads to get onereactor under existing piping. Where do we place the cranesso that roads aren’t blocked in the event we have to respondto an emergency? Our big concern was lifting one reactorinto an operating unit. We shut the unit down while makingthe lift.While the two reactor lifts were the most <strong>com</strong>plicated, wealso had hundreds of other, smaller lifts. All of the lifts were<strong>com</strong>pleted without incident.30

We havedemonstrated through our actions time and again that we willnot place other business objectives ahead of safety. <strong>Safety</strong>excellence can only be achieved when all parties maintain ashared safety vision and strong working partnership. Here atENL, we believe that it’s all about people. Fluor shares thesame safety vision and has been fully engaged in the kind ofpartnership required to achieve excellent safety results. Fluorput its best people in decision-making positions and showeda willingness to not only act on ENL safety initiatives, butalso to lead and innovate.The Sakhalin-1 Project is a great example of confrontingenvironmental issues in remote areas. How did the ENL/Fluor team and the Russian regulatory authorities interactto achieve the ultimate success of the project from an HSEperspective?Flood: Fluor was on the front line of our work assistingENL to ensure environmental <strong>com</strong>pliance during some ofthe key Project Phase 1 construction activities at the OPFand adjacent well site. Fluor also provided engineeringand construction input to documentation required toobtain critical regulatory approvals. The close cooperationbetween ENL and Fluor resulted in meeting all key projectschedule objectives, while maintaining <strong>com</strong>pliance withthe <strong>com</strong>prehensive, and often <strong>com</strong>plex, Russian regulatoryrequirements. As an example, over 10 different agenciesconducted approximately 50 inspections during the 2005-2006 period.Jim Flood, <strong>Safety</strong> Forum in Yuzhno, 2006What were some of the notable environmental initiativestaken by ENL and Fluor teams?Flood: One such initiative was introduction of an oil spillprevention program that involved extensive training ofsubcontractors and their maintenance crews. Rigorous spillinvestigation processes were also used and improvementactions were shared. During fueling operations or otheractivities with potential oil spill risk, we used troughs andother containment systems to prevent contamination to soilor water. In addition, maintenance checks were performed onequipment to prevent hydraulic oil leaks.What special challenges did marine life in the area createduring the transportation and offloading of OPF modules-- and how did ENL and Fluor deal with them?Flood: The sea lift team for transport and offloading of OPFmodules employed marine mammal observers previouslytrained by ENL for other offshore-related activities includingthe Orlan drilling platform installation and constructionof flowlines from the platform to the Chayvo well site.The training program was based on ENL’s gray whaleenvironmental protection program and experience. Usingtrained observers ensured environmentally safe operationsthat were conducted so carefully that no incidents with marinemammals occurred.Sakhalin Island’s remote location and severe weatherconditions pose additional safety and health challenges.What steps did ENL and Fluor take to ensure the health andsafety of their workers?Flood: ENL and Fluor managers worked together to developinnovative solutions to work safely during the harsh winterconditions. We minimized the impact of the harsh winter byerecting temporary habitats and buildings at worksites andinstalling heat blowers to keep temperatures at safe levels.ENL and Fluor safety champions also brought the entireteam into the work process. Each time they saw an unsafepractice, they intervened and helped the workers correct it. Butit didn’t stop there. They documented the observations andobserved trends in what they were seeing and then broughtthe workers in for some remedial training. The workforcesaw management’s proactive stance on safety and embracedit. This resulted in fewer reportable incidents and allowed usto achieve a lost time incidence rate that was nine times betterthan the worldwide oil and gas construction industry average.37

Delivering Sustainable DevelopmentFluor defines sustainable development (SD) as meetingthe needs of our clients while conducting our business in asocially, economically, and environmentally responsiblemanner to the benefit of current and future generations.As a <strong>com</strong>pany with global operations, our international reach calls for us to build and sustain the global <strong>com</strong>munity, whilecreating value for our stakeholders, including our clients, employees, investors, and the <strong>com</strong>munities in which we live andexecute our work. SD is a corporate responsibility built on honesty, decency, and integrity that requires us to consider howour work can have a positive impact on the quality of life in all the <strong>com</strong>munities we touch.SD permeates every aspect of delivery at Fluor, as evidencedthroughout this Annual Report and as highlighted below.“The successful demonstration of our management systemnot only enhances the safety and welfare ofour employees, but also provides value forour shareholders, as well as promoting ourreputation and the general HSE awarenessamong the local <strong>com</strong>munities. Our <strong>com</strong>panyacts in a socially responsible manner. “Zhou MingFluor HSE ManagerInstalling meteorological mast for wind farmDelivering Performance••Diversity of suppliers registered in SCORE!Manuel Junco’s remarks about Energy & Chemicalsfocus on SD in his Executive Interview• SD articles included as P4 publicationsDelivering Success•Alan Boeckmann’s award from the American Society ofCivil Engineers for his anti-corruption work• Australian Engineering Excellence Award, partially forenvironmental designDelivering HSE Resources•Behavior-based safety training for individuals in remotelocations• Global recruiting of HSE professionalsDelivering Projects••Creating wetlands at Fernald, OhioProviding temporary housing in the Gulf Coast region forFEMA disaster relief• Designing a California power plant to produce syngasfuel that will generate electricityDelivering HSE Awareness•HSE poster contest for childrenAs our project profiles indicate, significant SD takes placeas a normal part of doing business. Another significantexample that highlights Fluor’s involvement in SD is thewind farm project designed by Greater Gabbard OffshoreWinds Limited, a Fluor / Airtricity joint venture. The 500megawatt wind farm will feature up to 140 turbines, locatedaround two sand banks, known as the Inner Gabbard andThe Galloper, approximately 23 kilometers off the coast ofSuffolk, England. This project was executed by the Fluor’sIndustrial & Infrastructure business group, headed by GroupExecutive Steve Dobbs.46


Delivering Sustainable DevelopmentExecutive InterviewSteve Dobbs, Group Executive,Industrial & Infrastructure, onSustainable DevelopmentSteve Dobbs provides furtherinsight into Fluor’s focus onSustainable Development.Sustainable developmentis another way of definingcorporate or globalresponsibility. How importantis corporate responsibility toa global <strong>com</strong>pany like Fluor?Dobbs: For a large, public<strong>com</strong>pany like Fluor, corporateresponsibility is critical. It’sa key metric that’s applied to us in virtually every businesssegment and every country where we’re doing business ormight in the future. For example, we don’t sell widgets atFluor, we sell services. Our clients look at our culture andour values, which reinforce our corporate behavior, as ameasure of how we’ll treat them and others with whom we’llbe working on projects. It’s important to think of corporateresponsibility, or sustainable development, not only in theshort term. We need to make sure we step away and lookstrategically at sustainable development over the long haul.It’s a key element in how we position the <strong>com</strong>pany for thefuture.The three aspects of sustainable development or corporateresponsibility are environmental, social, and economic.Does one stand out as more important to you and why?Dobbs: They’re all linked. You can’t have one without theother. From a personal standpoint, social is the hardest.Social is tough for engineers, who depend on specificationsor statistics to do their work. We’re taught that there is onlyone right answer. With societal issues, there can be 100answers, so, at least for me, it takes extra effort. I’m willingto invest the effort because the social aspect is so importantto our business and to sustainable development.How would you rate Fluor’s sustainable developmentperformance today? How has it changed during your yearswith the <strong>com</strong>pany?Dobbs: In the last few years we have made a lot of progresswith diversity and inclusion, explaining what it means, andwhy it’s important. I’m speaking about more than genderand race here. I’m talking about inclusion in all aspects,especially different cultures. That’s critical for a truly global<strong>com</strong>pany. I think we’ve also gotten better at understandingthe importance of the political side of our projects. If youbuild a 90-mile highway, you find yourself dealing with alot of different people and politics. Actually, I can’t think ofa better example of this than Fluor’s work in Louisiana afterthe hurricanes in 2005. The folks running that project wentto great lengths to build relationships throughout Louisianaand to <strong>com</strong>municate regularly with key politicians there.That has and will continue to pay dividends for Fluor in theGulf Coast region, and it’s a good model of how to impactan area positively.In your opinion, can exceptional sustainable developmentbe a business differentiator for a <strong>com</strong>pany like Fluor?Dobbs: Sure, in the long term it can. If safety is importantto our clients or potential clients and our safety record isbetter than our <strong>com</strong>petitors, we win. But I need to emphasizeagain that our focus on sustainable development isn’t aboutbeating the <strong>com</strong>petition, it’s about doing the right thing. It’sour corporate responsibility.How important is it to integrate sustainable developmentconsiderations into a project early in the planning process?Dobbs: It’s important that sustainable development befactored into project planning at the earliest stages. Butfor sustainable development to really work, it has to startwell before planning for any project. It has to be part ofyour culture and part of the way you always do business.If it’s not, you’re not really thinking about your businessstrategically.47


Delivering Sustainable DevelopmentFluor Research Center Opens at Kazakh NationalTechnical UniversityThe Fluor Research Centre for Chemical Technology opened inspring 2006 at the Kazakh National Technical University (KazNTU)in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The centre was created through twoyears of <strong>com</strong>bined effort by Fluor, University College London, andthe KazNTU. It was funded by a gift from the Fluor Foundation.

Students training at HAMMER havethe benefit of using training devices that were specifically designed toprovide the most realistic training anywhere. A large part of HAMMER’ssuccess is the partnership formed by management and labor – apartnership that AFL-CIO President John Sweeney referenced as “one ofthe most important in the country.”HAMMER, making use of available capacity, has also expanded itsmission to serve other federal and private agencies in areas such asemergency response and domestic preparedness.Annual student training days at HAMMER number more than 32,000.49


Delivering Sustainable DevelopmentBut it isn’t all about organizations and facilities – it’s aboutindividuals too.Del-Jen Partnership and ScholarshipsIn 2003, the Fluor Foundation and Del-Jen, a FluorGovernment Group subsidiary, launched the FluorFoundation Job Corps Scholarship Program. Job Corps, aU.S. federally funded program, is administered by the U.S.Department of Labor through its Employment and TrainingAdministration. It is a residential education and job-trainingprogram for at-promise youth, ages 16 through 24.Scholarships are provided at seven Del-Jen operated JobCorps Centers around the U.S. Annually, one studentfrom each site is selected to receive a $5,000 scholarshiprenewable for the duration of their university study. Twelvestudents received scholarships in 2006 and will be supportedand mentored through their university careers. Anotherpartnership was forged last year between the Centers andFluor to hire qualified Job Corps graduates into entry-levelcraft labor positions. Additional training and local job-sitesupport helped advance the students’ long-term career goals.Scholarship ProgramsSince the inception in 1981 of the Fluor ScholarshipProgram for employees’ children, 2,180 students havereceived scholarships, totaling approximately $9 million.In 2006, Fluor issued 263 new and previously awardedscholarships totaling $590,500.

In addition,thousands of children will benefit for years to <strong>com</strong>e fromrenovated schools and orphanages in Ghana, India, Peru,Russia, and The Netherlands.Employee VolunteerismIn addition to monetary donations spearheaded byemployees and employee-volunteer organizations, Fluoremployees give back to their local <strong>com</strong>munities in yearroundprojects and various volunteer efforts. In additionto donating in-kind engineering and construction services,Fluor employees give selflessly through fundraising and byvolunteering in programs and events such as:• “Adopt-A-Family” and Holiday Outreach• Food drives• Blood drives• Various walk and run events• Educational outreach – mentoring; tutoring; careerpreparation; <strong>com</strong>puter literacy• <strong>Environmental</strong> activities – Earth Day; tree planting;adopt-a-spot/adopt-a-highway• Meals-on-wheels• Computer and equipment donations• Clothing collections and donationsChildren receiving backpacks52


Delivering Sustainable DevelopmentCommunity InitiativesIn Quilpue, Chile, near the capital of Santiago, 125 Fluor,AMECO, and client volunteers lent a hand to “Un TechoPara Chile” (A Roof Over Chile). This organization isdedicated to providing housing for families living inimpoverished conditions, transforming slum areas into<strong>com</strong>munities that provide dignity for their inhabitants,and assisting families through the process of applying andqualifying for government programs. Volunteers, includingFluor and AMECO employees and their families, clientpersonnel, and those selected to receive the homes, wereresponsible for the total construction of each home. On<strong>com</strong>pletion, each home was inaugurated with a ribboncuttingceremony.Around the world, many Fluor offices continue to participatein <strong>com</strong>munity development and <strong>com</strong>munity revitalizationefforts, such as Habitat for Humanity. Along with variousfunding initiatives, Fluor volunteers provide countlesshours helping construct Habitat houses. Fluor-sponsoredhomebuilding efforts took place in Bartow, Georgia;Greenville, South Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; Gliwice,Poland; and as part of a Job Corps Building Blitz inLafayette, Louisiana.In Ilo, Peru, Fluor, in partnership with client CerroVerde, provided funding for a major renovation at a localhospital. The renovation provided updated and modernizedamenities and facilities. In addition to medical renovation,the remodeled facility also provides patients with a craftworkshop that will teach them to create various in<strong>com</strong>egenerating items for the facility, which provides services tothe economically disadvantaged.Volunteer workers at the Un Techo Para Chile housing project.

Employees raised money, receiveddonations from vendors and, along with grants providedby Fluor, built a new service kitchen and dining room forthe children. They were rewarded for their efforts when thedirector of the orphanage thanked them by asking, “Howcould we have managed for over 30 years without a place tofeed the children?”53


Deliveringfor the Future54


Delivering for the Future<strong>Health</strong>, <strong>Safety</strong> and <strong>Environmental</strong> (HSE) concerns areessential elements of every job function that we perform atFluor – in the field and office alike. Each year, we look atthe lessons learned as well as the successes of the past yearto help determine what the emphasis for the next year shouldbe. We strive to maintain and protect the well-being of ouremployees, as well as our surroundings, making it our goalto benefit each <strong>com</strong>munity we impact while cultivating itsdevelopment. As always, we continuously seek ways toimprove HSE performance throughout the planning, design,construction, operations, maintenance and de<strong>com</strong>missioningprocess for the projects we execute.Qualified resources are critical to execution of our projects.In 2006, the HSE organization began utilizing a SkillsInventory database, with the 2007 objective to have allHSE employees populate the database, thereby allowingmore refined utilization and development. An additional2007 resource-related objective is for the HSE FunctionalDevelopment Forum to increase the number of professionalsearmarked for special mentoring and developmentopportunities.In 2007, there will be strengthened focus on the continuedimprovement of our performance at the activity level. TheHSE <strong>Board</strong> will expand the application of our Behavior-Based <strong>Safety</strong> (BBS) and Human Performance Improvement(HPI) initiatives within Fluor’s operations this year, makingthem key parts of the <strong>com</strong>pany’s Zero Incidents SM program.Focusing on these processes will enable us to prevent humanerrors and avoid the workplace incidents experienced in2006.In addition to expanding the BBS and HPI processes, theHSE Field Audit program will be enhanced by improvingthe corporate auditing strategy and protocols. Strategyenhancements include a well-defined level of audit processesand execution and more attention to project-critical HSEareas. The current audit protocol has been strengthenedby developing more effective trending and metrics forthe scoring process. Likewise, the template for the HSEEngineering Audit Program will be enhanced to addressdifferent types of project elements.The HSE Engineering function will be highlighted in 2007with the creation of HSE Engineering departments in severalof Fluor’s major offices worldwide. We will leverage ourHSE engineers and scientists to meet the needs of projectsglobally, and we will develop training modules to be usedby the HSE Engineering leads in teaching best practices toemployees working on projects. Finally, consolidation ofour HSE processes and procedures, enhanced training of ourHSE engineers in developing countries, and cross-trainingwithin HSE will continue.Fluor’s international reach calls for our involvementwith many of the most critical global challenges suchas sustainable development (SD), which is the ability tomeet the needs of the present without <strong>com</strong>promising theneeds of the future. The importance of SD has increasedexponentially in the last five years, and because of theimportance of this issue to Fluor, an SD initiative withexecutive sponsorship will be implemented in 2007. Inaddition, the corporation will unveil a Global Responsibilityweb site emphasizing our programs in HSE, SD, Diversityand Inclusion, Community Involvement, Compliance andEthics, and Corporate Governance.To further promote HSE awareness in 2007, ourother action items include:• Continuing to distribute our monthly global HSEnewsletter, with highlights of the SD initiative• Revamping HSE’s Knowledge OnLine homepage toallow better access for remote work locations• Communicating HSE Week 2007, our annualcelebration and awareness of HSE and SD•Implementing GIMS, our new automated HSEGlobal Information Management System55
