Clothing Policy Effective January 2004

A new clothing policy went in effect earlier this year with the expectation of full compliance by January 1, 2004. This policy applies to ALL ChevronTexaco and contract personnel (including mechanics, electricians, operators, facility reps, construction reps, etc.) while working and/or visiting the facility. Exceptions to the policy for contractors may be made with approval from the appropriate functional management personnel. Highlights of this policy include:

  • Long sleeve button up shirts and long pants, both of all cotton natural fibers, are considered the minimum requirements for personnel clothing.
  • Clothing shall be orderly – no holes, tears, loose material – and appropriately fitting, sleeves rolled down and shirttails tucked in trousers.
  • Fire Retardant Clothing (FRC) is required for all ChevronTexaco and contractor electricians and automation specialists and they must follow the information in the ChevronTexaco "Electrical Safe Work Practice Manual". Please see a ChevronTexaco representative for more details about this manual.
  • FRC may be required where contractors are performing certain duties that have a higher exposure risk to the likelihood of flash fires.
  • Wearing FRC is optional for all other contractors.
