British Petroleum (BP) is a major multinational oil and gas company headquartered in London. Safety is one of BP's core values and a top priority, driven by leadership and processes. BP works to reduce environmental impacts and ensure personal and process safety. However, in 2010 an accident occurred at a BP deepwater drilling site in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers. BP spent billions responding to the spill and compensating those affected. New regulations were introduced as a result, including third party verification of safety testing. BP aims to be a trusted company by consistently following high safety standards.
