Transportation risk management is
based on systematic analyses of accidents, which then generate safety
improvement plans.
In 2009, for all of its businesses combined,
TOTAL transported approximately 210 tons of feedstock (crude
oil, natural gas, etc.), "intermediate" products (for
example, liquid hydrocarbon such as feedstock for steam cracking units) and "finished"
products (fuels, LPG…).
Almost all these transfers involve transportation
of hazardous materials such as liquid and liquefied hydrocarbons, as
well as petrochemical and chemical products. The hazardous nature of the
products transported, their diversity and variety are the most
important factors in our "transport risk" analysis.
The other factors taken into
consideration come from analyses of our accident records. These analyses reveal
that initiatives concerning transportation by land (road,
rail) should be a top priority, more specifically road transport in Africa.
