To: All Employees and Contractors
Subject: SB 51 – Louisiana Gun Law
A new law has been enacted by the Louisiana Legislature that prevents a company from prohibiting an employee in lawful possession of a firearm from transporting the firearm onto a company parking area and storing it in a privately owned, locked vehicle. Chevron’s long-standing policy has been to prohibit guns on Chevron property. This policy is based on Chevron’s OE tenet regarding workplace safety and section 654(a)(1) of the Federal OSH Act.
Management continues to believe that the safest and best practice is not to transport firearms onto Chevron property. Employees should carefully consider Chevron’s commitment to safety when deciding whether to keep a firearm in their locked vehicles in a Chevron parking area. Nevertheless, an employee who elects to bring a firearm onto Chevron property will be expected to comply with the following requirements:
An individual in lawful possession of a firearm that is transported onto Company property in a privately owned vehicle must at all times (i) keep the firearm stored in the locked vehicle; and (ii) keep the firearm in a locked case. Although not required by the new law, Chevron recommends a trigger lock be used for the security of the firearm.
In the interest of safety and to ensure compliance with the law, individuals bringing firearms onto Chevron property will be required to inform Security and complete a Firearms Notification Form.
The new law only extends to parking areas; firearms are not permitted in Chevron buildings or in any other area of Chevron property.
The failure to comply with this policy could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Contractors to whom CAIs have not been issued should be informed of this policy by Chevron employees before they arrive at a Chevron location.
If you have any questions or concern, please don't hesitate to contact your supervisor or me directly.
Have a safe and productive day.
