| Health & Safety |

Pengrowth is proud of its operating and safety record and
we work hard each day to make sure we improve our safety
management systems to protect the health and safety of
our team members, contractors and the public.
Our health and safety programs are about more than
regulatory compliance. We want to make sure that our
operations run smoothly, that our team members go home
safely each day and that we maintain our neighbours'
confidence and support.

To evaluate the effectiveness of
our safety systems, a third
party audit of Pengrowth’s
safety management system was
conducted in 2006 as part of a
successful recertification
requirement of our Alberta
Partnerships Certificate of
Recognition program. Many safety
system strengths were identified
and the few gaps identified will
be a focus for improvement in
2007.
As a company, we constantly
focus attention on education
initiatives that are designed to
raise team member awareness on
safety issues through ongoing
communication and tracking of
near miss, hazard identification
and incident reports. We hold
regular contractor safety forums
and promote workplace safety
training programs. Our team
members and contractors
participate in emergency
preparedness training and
exercises that are designed to
improve our capabilities in the
event that an unplanned event
does occur. All of these
proactive efforts are targeted
at reducing the risk of future
incidents or injuries and to
make sure that our operations
run as smoothly, safely and
efficiently as possible.
