Horacio Marín reinforces YPF's commitment to the safety of its teams

Within the framework of the first Security Meeting of YPF, the president and CEO of the company, Horacio Marín, emphasized the firm's commitment to an organizational culture centered on safety. The event, which brought together workers, suppliers, and management teams, focused on strengthening joint efforts to achieve operational excellence without compromising people's integrity.

"YPF has a strong safety culture. There's no band-aid that justifies a cubic meter. We all have the obligation to stop activity when people's safety is at risk. That's the company we want to work for," Marín emphasized during the opening of the meeting.

Historic reduction in accident rates

This commitment doesn't remain just words: the company's indicators show a sustained decrease in accident levels. According to internal data, the Accident Frequency Index (AFI) went from 0.918 accidents per million hours worked in 2015 to 0.09 currently. A similar achievement is observed in the Traffic Accident Frequency Index (TAFI), which decreased from 0.22 to 0.049 accidents per million kilometers traveled.

These numbers reflect a significant transformation that responds to a preventive model, with clear protocols, constant training, and active monitoring systems. YPF's approach is focused on anticipating risk and empowering all operational levels to make responsible decisions.

Safety as a strategic axis toward world-class shale

In his presentation, Marín emphasized that one of the strategic objectives of his management is to transform YPF into a world-class shale operator, which can't be achieved without a safe operating environment.

To this end, the development plan includes international standards, investment in prevention technologies, and leadership committed to the well-being of work teams.

This type of meeting reinforces the construction of a collaborative culture where safety is not an imposed obligation, but a value shared by the entire organization.
