In addition to creating a safe environment for ConocoPhillips employees and communities, the company is also committed to monitoring and improving the health of our employees and of members of the communities in which we operate.
 Occupational Health
The health of employees is a top priority for ConocoPhillips. We conduct risk-based pre-placement and periodic medical examinations to ensure the safety and well-being of employees who work in higher health-risk situations, such as those who work offshore or emergency response teams. The company has more than 40 clinics in 10 countries that enable us to respond to employee health needs as they arise during the work day. Medical services are also available to the public in countries where we have clinics but community medical facilities are lacking.
International Health Initiatives
ConocoPhillips directs its efforts in developing countries toward improving fundamental needs, such as providing communities with clean running water and teaching healthy behaviors. To improve the water quality and availability in Timor-Leste, we partnered with WorldVision to construct two hydraulic water pumps in rural communities. Until the construction of the water pumps, members of the community had traditionally fetched water by carrying heavy cans of water over long distances. In addition to helping community members improve hygiene, the water pumps improve local agriculture by increasing access to food, which improves nutrition.
