Health, Safety, and Environment
Safety
Noble’s greatest responsibility is the safety of our people. We believe every job can and must be done safely. We respect the safety and welfare of lives and property beyond our own people, including customers, suppliers, subcontractors, and regulatory personnel.
At Noble, safety is more than a protocol—it’s a shared mindset embedded in our culture. We empower every team member to take ownership of safety, speak up, and act decisively to prevent incidents before they happen. This commitment to a proactive, learning-driven safety culture ensures we protect our people, our partners, and the environments in which we operate.
Health
Noble’s Health program is a vital part of our HSE commitment, focusing on the well-being and resilience of our people offshore and onshore. Through proactive wellness initiatives, regular medical screenings, and mental health support, we create a safe, healthy work environment where everyone can thrive. Our teams are trained to identify and manage health risks, ensuring that every operation meets the highest standards of care. By prioritizing our people’s health, Noble strengthens its safety culture, drives performance, and upholds our promise to be the First Choice in responsible offshore drilling.
Environment
Noble’s Environment program is at the heart of our HSE strategy, ensuring that every operation minimizes impact and protects the ecosystems where we work. We rigorously manage emissions, waste, and discharges through certified systems and robust monitoring. Our crews are trained to operate with environmental stewardship in mind, from spill prevention to efficient resource use. Initiatives like energy-saving technologies and low-carbon rigs demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement. By safeguarding the environment today, Noble strengthens our sustainability promise and sets the standard for responsible offshore drilling—making us the First Choice for safe, clean energy solutions.

SAFE Days
In 2016, Noble developed the SAFE Days program for the continued excellence in operations with intent to achieve a no-harm workplace, that is: no injury to personnel, no harm to the environment and no damage to equipment. We believe that a zero-incident workplace is achieved One Day, One Tour, One Task and One Person at a time.
Noble continues to provide excellent HSE performance hand in hand with delivering efficient operations for our clients. A Noble SAFE Day is more than an injury-free day. The criteria for a SAFE Day requires no dropped objects, spills, process safety events or injuries. Noble’s commitment to safety and focus on SAFE days is changing how we work; by following our Standards, holding ourselves Accountable and staying Focused, we achieve Excellence.
Live Safe Code
The Live Safe Code is a set of mandatory HSE requirements developed to further Noble’s pursuit of creating a no-compromise standard of adhering to operational policies and procedures. The Live Safe Code is comprised of ten common activities with the highest potential for HSE risk and is essential to achieve a no-harm workplace. These requirements are core to our business and applicable to all personnel and visitors at our facilities and rigs.
