"At CITGO, we are deeply committed to health and safety," he added. "That is why we adhere to best-practice standards, consistent employee training, performance metrics and auditing to continually meet the high-level of performance we are known for."
The award was presented at API's 64th Annual Pipeline Conference in San Diego, California.
