Health and safety

The Mobil sponsored Going Solo provides parents and young drivers with information to help reduce crash risks.

Mobil is committed to conducting its business in a manner that protects the safety and health of our employees, contractors, customers and the public.  We strive for an incident-free workplace and have set a global safety and health goal of zero injuries and illnesses.  We believe that our commitment to safe, secure and incident free operations will contribute to improved operations, greater reliability, lower costs and higher productivity. Mobil reflects these work policies by also supporting community organisations that aim to promote good health and safety.
 

AA Driver Education Foundation
Young restricted licence drivers are involved in more crashes than any other driving group.  Mobil has partnered with the AA Driver Education Foundation to help prevent road accidents among young restricted licence drivers. The 'Going Solo' project aims to provide parents and new restricted licence drivers with information and strategies to help reduce young driver crash risks.
