theory and incentive theory guarantee that safety managencent is carried out in a scientific and effective manner. By applying
objective safety management,oil enterprises can enhance the economic benefit，improve safety management，and strengthen
staff awareness of production safety. Petroleum corporations should establish safety objective network，carry out safety management
by objective，and check the operation of safety management. To achieve the safety objective and hence the healthy and
sustainable development，oil enterprises must enhance the organizational leadership，strengthen safety training，and improve
the safety management system.
