CHAIRMAN AND CEO MESSAGE
BY ALAN BOECKMANN
The challenge of protecting the environment for future
generations is everyones business, but success depends on
leaders of industry stepping up and leading the charge. AtFluor, we want to leave the world better than we found it.
As a leading engineering and construction contractor in a range of global
industries with diverse cultures and operations in remote locations, Fluor
strives to set a benchmark for excellence in the protection and development
of health, safety, and environmental assets and endeavors. We recognize that
with leadership comes great responsibility and that future generations are
relying on us to protect and preserve the natural environment. We promote
sustainable development by managing our operations in a responsible way.
Fluor works closely with our clients, suppliers, and contractors to implement and sustain a comprehensive
Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) program. Our proven HSE Management System integratesthe highest international standards into each project phase and verifies our consistent and complete
performance. Sustainable development in project execution has increased our clients interest in our
significant HSE achievements. Using a total project approach, our experts strive to meet clients HSE
objectives and to provide safe, cost-effective facilities in harmony with their communities.
Many of Fluors recognized experts in specific health, safety, or environmental disciplines work with public
agencies and professional associations worldwide to develop industry and governmental standards, as well
as industry best practices, to protect people, property, and the earths precious environment and resources.
While Fluor has been supporting emergency relief efforts in the U.S. and around the globe for many
years, 2005 proved to be an unprecedented year for natural disasters. From tsunamis to earthquakes to
hurricanes, Fluor was there to provide support through the Fluor Foundation, as well as individual employee
contributions. When Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, caused devastation
across the Gulf Coast, Fluor was there, and we continue to be there today repairing lives and rebuilding
communities.
Fluors commitment to maintaining a healthy, safe, and environmentally sound workplace extends to every
employee in our company. Our management teams actions reflect their commitment to our HSE program
and are recognized by our employees worldwide. We expect both organizational and personal accountability
for HSE performance.
Success in sustainable development comes down to commitment, leadership, and perseverance. I am
pleased to present you with Fluors HSE Annual Report, and I am proud of our employees commitment to
HSE excellence.

HSE INTRODUCTION
BY GARRY FLOWERS, SR. VICE PRESIDENT
A world-class HSE function is reflected in a
companys culture. At Fluor, HSE considerationsare put at the forefront of everything our
employees do whether designing a large-scale
pharmaceutical laboratory or constructing that
facility.
One of the biggest challenges to achieving a world-class HSE
culture is managing change in the organization, the company,
and subcontracting organizations. One of the major changes occurred in 2005 when Fluor
established a new HSE Operating Board charged with enhancing our overall integrated HSE
approach and setting strategic direction for Fluor.
We strive to continually improve our HSE Management System through an annual review
process, based on comments received from design, construction, operations, and maintenance
personnel within Fluor. Employees are encouraged to submit feedback through our award-
winning knowledge management tool.
Our HSE Management System put us in good stead to respond to the unprecedented number
of disasters in 2005, including Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. As part of our overall HSE
program, we are an active member in the Disaster Resource Network, an adjunct of the World
Economic Forum. As a result of our long-standing relationship with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, we have developed a professional staff that is sensitive and responsive
to disaster environments, and as a construction industry leader, we maintain a variety of skills
required to perform disaster recovery operations. Fluor is one of only three companies to hold
a contract with the agency, and our employees training and experience working in a FEMA
environment is a clear differentiator.
In 2005, our HSE performance continued to lead the industry, although incidence rates
increased fractionally. We encountered more exposure due to 13 percent more hours worked
than in 2004. Of total hours worked, non-U.S. markets accounted for more than 75 percent in
2005. Our lost work day case incidence rate was 0.05, the same as our 2004 rate, while our
total recordable incidence rate was 0.46, which is an increase of 24 percent from 0.37 in 2004.
I am sad to report that despite our excellence in HSE performance, we suffered four employee
and six subcontractor fatalities. To address such incidents, we strengthened processes to
focus on specific preventive actions. In addition the HSE Board is evaluating new methods of
disseminating information in these specific areas of focus.
In 2006, we will continue to embrace change and provide a strong HSE approach for our
clients, our workers, and surrounding communities.

past 20 consecutive years. The NEA is a nationwide network of more than 5,000 union contractors,
local union contractor trade associations, industrial-maintenance contractors and industry
suppliers. The safety awards were created in 1982 by the NEA Safety & Health Committee to
recognize outstanding achievement in minimizing the number of worksite accidents.
Safety Award from the Gas Processing Association of Canada (GPAC) Fluor Constructors
Canada received this distinguished award for its combined field-safety and office-safety excellenceFluor Constructors Canadas self-perform operations had no recordable incidents during the
entire year. GPAC is a nonprofit organization formed to promote the interaction and exchange of
technology with those involved in the hydrocarbon-processing industry.
Award of Merit from the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association (NPRA) Fluor
Constructors received this milestone award for having incurred no recordable incidences during
2004 for work at the BP Toledo refinery in Oregon, Ohio. This award is for self-perform and
subcontractor operations. NPRA membership is composed of more than 450 companies, including
virtually all U.S. refiners and petrochemical manufacturers. The Contractor Award for Meritorious
Safety Performance is presented to process-area contractors that have achieved a total recordable
incidence rate of 1.5 or less during the year and worked a minimum of 20,000 hours at the site.
It is with sincere pride
that Fluor Constructors

well as Fluors contribution to the reduction of work-related injury and disease in
Western Australia. The Platinum Award went to the Perth office and an Operations
& Maintenance (O&M) site in the Pilbara CMM, located in Karratha.
Another Fluor O&M team working at Fluor Australia Karratha Engineering
serviceswas presented with the prestigious Gold Award for its contribution to the
WorkSafe Plan.
The WorkSafe Plan is an occupational safety and health (OSH) management system
assessment methodology developed and promoted by Western Australias safety regulatory authority,
Western Australia WorkSafe. Each key element of the plan indicates well-developed OSH management
systems, a high level of implementation, and evidence of ongoing OSH improvement and OSH system
maintenance activities.
Fluor United Kingdomearned two Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) awards
based on a detailed summary of the implementation of Fluors HSE Management System, incident
statistics, and HSE training.
RoSPA Presidents Award (for the fourteenth year!)
RoSPA Construction Engineering Industry Sector Award
Fluor UKalso received the British Safety Council National Safety (BSC) Award, for the 18th
consecutive year. The BSC award was based on Fluors HSE policy, organization, staff competence,
planning, and incident statistics.
INTERNAL AWARDS
Fluor made a bold commitment to safety excellence with the introduction of our ZERO AccidentsSM
recognition and reward program in 1994, which established stringent standards for safety worldwide.
Fluors program was based on the Construction Industry Institute Task Forces recommendations forachieving zero injuries, which had identified highimpact zero incidents techniques used to achieve safety
excellence.
In 2004, Fluor upgraded the ZERO AccidentsSMprogram by incorporating health and environmental facets
and renaming it the ZERO IncidentsSMprogram.
Because Fluor takes great pride in its accomplishments in this area and in being an industry leader, the
company continues to recognize and promote outstanding HSE performance. In 2005, the program was
upgraded again to include Four and Five Star awards.
The ZERO Incidents program stringent criteria are updated annually to reflect the companys performance
goals. The five criteria in 2005 included the recordable rate plus four additional criteria as follows.

HSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Fluors HSE Management System (described in company practice 000-653-8000) was originally
implemented in January 2004. At the end of 2005, revisions were made, reflecting our continual
improvement process.
The system provides an integrated tool for demonstrating the companys commitment to continuallyimprove HSE performance, and it establishes a framework for how HSE aspects of Fluor projects will
be addressed. Fluors corporate culture, supported by this HSE Management System, gives priority
to HSE considerations for our employees and our stakeholders and is fundamental for achieving
profitability. The structure of the HSE Management System incorporates several levels of control
documents as indicated in the following diagram.
Some of the enhancements made to the HSE system during 2005 include:
HSE Engineering Glossary and Reference document developed to provide non-HSE
professionals with a quick reference to HSE terminology and to provide guidance to HSE
professionals as they plan, budget, and execute projects.
Stakeholder added to the HSE policy to better identify the comprehensive group the policy
serves.
Fluors HSE Operating Board responsibilities introduced and defined.
References to the HSE Operating Board updated to reflect the new organizational structure.
Forms removed as attachments and hyperlinked to the practices and procedures.
Practices and procedures made more robust in the areas of environmental awareness,
contractor selection and alignment, and HSE engineering.
Practices and procedures revised to provide better clarification in the areas of substance
abuse, emergency contact personnel, training, pre-task planning, incident reporting, and
health management in the field.

As stated by Alan Boeckmann, Fluors Chairman and CEO, in this years
message, sustainable development in project execution has increased our
clients interest in our significant HSE achievements. Fluor incorporates
sustainable development and corporate responsibility in a myriad of aspects
of engineering, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance,ranging from community service and philanthropy to conservation to training
of nationals.
DALLAS HEADQUARTERS LEEDTMAPPLICATION
In May 2005, Fluor announced that our corporate headquarters would move to the Dallas/Ft. Worth
area. The move reflects the companys strategy to reduce operating costs, enhance efficiency, and
become more customer focused.
Fluor is seeking Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEEDTM) certification from the U.S.
Green Building Council (USGBC) for our new corporate headquarters. LEED is a green building
rating system designed to guide and distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional
projects, with a focus on office buildings. Fluor is submitting its application for certification to the
USGBC in the Spring of 2006 and anticipates certification award in late 2006, pending USGBC final
review.
Supported by an inside-out-outside-in approach to the building design, the workspaces are
efficient and infused with technology and furniture supporting Fluors global focus. A dynamic and
light-filled 55-foot high atrium with cantilevered balconies and wood-clad dining room seems to
float 40 feet in the air.
The natural site, use of regional materials and low volatile organic compound
products, and a high percentage of recycled materials used for construction
of the headquarters building demonstrate Fluors commitment to sustainable
design. The lighting and mechanical design emphasize reduced energyconsumption. Fluors corporate headquarters is designed to achieve LEED
certification for both the building and the interiors.

SCORE!
Fluors outreach tool SCORE! (Supplier and Contractor Online Registry E-version) continued its success
by registering twice as many suppliers in 2005, as compared to 2004. The database of perspective
suppliers proved to be a major resource in achieving Fluors ambitious goals for using local suppliers
in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (see 2005 Project Achievements FEMA Individual Assistance
Project) by allowing easy access through the web-based application. During 2005, the functionality ofthe tool was enhanced by adding the capability to notify registered suppliers regarding opportunities on
projects within Fluor. This tool has been very helpful in diversifying our supplier base as shown in the
following graphic.
BLACK ENGINEER OF THE YEAR AWARD
Fluor project manager Tulanda Brown earned a professional achievement
award as the Black Engineer of the Year for her work at the Department of
Energy (DOE) Fernald site in Ohio where she was responsible for HSE initiatives.
She developed an innovative approach to safety documentation that is now
supported by both the DOE and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board as a
new standard for remedial activities and site closure for DOE nuclear sites. Ms.
Brown transferred to Fluors Government Group last year and is now assigned to
Fluor Hanfords regulatory compliance organization.
ANTI-CORRUPTION
Fluor believes that global business has a responsibility to create a brighter future for the nations of
the world. Corruption is especially damaging to the engineering and construction sector because that
sector makes such a critical contribution to international development. Corruption is also damaging
to citizens of countries where it is practiced because foreign investment tends to be directed to other
countries where business is predictable and operates within the rule of law.
The single most important change in the fight against corruption over the past few years has been the
globalization of American-style, anti-corruption standards. As part of the World Economic Forum,
Alan Boeckmann chaired a multinational task force charged with establishing benchmark Business
Principles. To date, more than 80 companies have signed these anti-corruption principles that

address ethical conduct regarding bribes, facilitation payments, political contributions and gifts,
charitable contributions, and sponsorships. Signatory companies are required to commit to two
ideas: 1) a zero-tolerance policy toward bribery and corruption and 2) a broad-based, anti-
corruption program implemented to guide the behavior of its employees.
GREEN PURCHASING
Green purchasing attempts to identify impacts on the environment and to maximize resource
efficiency. Fluor addresses the impacts of our operations by reducing wastes, emissions, and
discharges, and by meeting the needs of the present without depleting future generations
resources. In keeping with this commitment, Fluor has established HSE principles that
emphasize green purchasing. The Fluor HSE principle for Sustainable Development states that
procurement activities shall address green processes. Green purchasing is an important
tenant of these green processes.
As a global company, Fluor is working to educate our employees about green purchasing and to
develop policies and programs that comply with requirements and offer green-purchasing options
to clients for the execution of their projects. Now, more than ever, contractors are focusing
on more than just technical decisions. Every technical decision has some degree of social,economic, and environmental implications that must be recognized and balanced.
WASTE MINIMIZATION
In addition to green purchasing, Fluor looks for opportunities to minimize waste. For example,
renovation of Fluors Greenville office complex resulted in approximately 6,500 square yards
(5,435 square meters) of 22-year-old carpet slated for disposal in a landfill. This volume of old
carpet raised obvious environmental concerns, so recycle opportunities were investigated. With
the support of suppliers, Milliken and Bonitz Flooring Group, Fluor identified a local charity eager
to accept the donation of used carpet. AID Upstate, a local nonprofit agency serving more than
750 people living with HIV/AIDS in the communities surrounding Greenville, used the excess
carpet in its renovation of an assisted living facility, an office annex, and a building to be used asa thrift store.
The U.S. Office of the Federal
Environmental Executive
defines green purchasing
as the acquisition of

SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE
There are innumerable opportunities to develop sustainability in construction. As Dave Stayshich, o
of Fluors Construction Technology Managers states, It makes too much sense to leave it alone!
In the long run, sustainability benefits everyone. For sustainability, the question is when will overa
company savings be realized as a result of implementing sustainability principles?On many of its projects, Fluor uses the 3Rs of resource conservation that apply to construction
operations as described in the Sustainable Building Technical Manual published by Public
Technology, Inc.:
Reduce reduce waste production by increasing labor efficiency / productivity through a
waste management program (e.g., reusable formwork)
Reuse reuse leftover materials that are in satisfactory condition (e.g., wood), and
Recycle recycle as much waste material that cannot be reused (e.g., sheetrock, siding,
steel, insulation)
Examples of steps that Fluor may implement to advance construction waste management are: Assessment of probable waste streams prior to construction
Direct involvement of local recyclers
Work with subcontractors on specific measures; reduction, recycling, reverse distribution
Provision of waste management measures in contracts
Emphasis of a clean site: continuous cleanup, end-of-day wrap-up
Provision of training for everyone on the jobsite
Publication of results
Rewards for good results
Other methods that Fluor employs to make projects sustainable are to train local craft workers, use
eco-labeled products, use fly ash in concrete, and return unused materials to suppliers.
CONSERVATION
The Lone Star Infrastructure team, led by Fluor, is involved in several environmental projects. Crew
building State Highway (SH) 130 outside Georgetown, Texas are creating more than just a new road
They are making sure that bats have a home.
Bat habitat construction, along with tree relocation and a fish-recovery program, are examples of th
broad environmental outreach the SH 130 project has implemented. Bat houses were installed on t
SH 130 bridges over the San Gabriel River in Georgetown. These houses can hold between 3,000 a
5,000 Mexican free-tail bats. Up to 70 percent of the bats diet consists of corn and cotton pests su
as moths and beetles. Georgetown is pleased to welcome the animals because bats consume insec
and offer a better alternative to pest control than using insecticides that are harmful to people and
the environment.

TRAINING
Through our work in designing and building some of the worlds most complex industrial projects,
Fluor has an extensive history of providing craft training in locations globally to meet client needs. The
company continues to be actively engaged in providing training for local residents, thereby obtaining
a local skilled workforce while providing career and economic growth for the local population. Four
cases highlight the diversity of training programs and the personnel affected.
Iraq Fluor trained Iraqi Ministry and City Municipality employees throughout Iraq. Each
person received a total of four weeks of instruction. More than 83,000 individuals were
trained in 2005 on basic safety, including fall protection, personal protective equipment,
trenching and excavation, confined space entry, danger tag and lock-out, hazard
communication, equipment operations, and rigging safety.
Louisiana In an effort to support the economic recovery of Hurricane Katrina victims and
accelerate the rebuilding process in the region, Fluor created several craft training centers
and funded the training of the first 1,000 citizens whose homes and/or jobs were lost by
the catastrophic storm. In total, the company
trained thousands of individuals in centers in and
around the areas where concentrated rebuildingof hurricane-damaged infrastructure occurred.
Providing local jobs is a focus of our efforts,
said Alan Boeckmann. We are pleased to
fund the cost of training for the first 1,000 who
were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Through
teamwork and ingenuity, America will turn this
tragedy into a new beginning for the entire
region.
Fluors work for the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) of providing temporary housing units for individuals displaced
by the storm required a significant number of craft personnel. Prior to the hurricane, the
craft labor market was already stressed due to outages, shutdowns, and turnarounds that
occur this time of year across the U.S. Fluors rapid response in creating craft training
centers to educate individuals in virtually every civil craft (electricians, pipe fitters, welders,
equipment operators and riggers) accelerated the recovery progress in the Gulf region. Many
of these workers became employed by Fluor, our Louisiana-based subcontractors, or other
construction companies to install temporary housing units and perform other related work.
Individuals who were interested in training or craft employment opportunities with Fluor were
encouraged to register through the companys Job2Help program, a web site created through
a Fluor and Monster.com teaming effort.
Kazakhstan Fluor, in partnership with Parsons, is constructing a major oil and gas facility
for Tengiz Chevroil. During 2005, the partnership trained approximately 25,000 Kazakh
citizens in a broad range of topics, including office safety, confined space entry, protection
from hydrogen sulfide, welding safety, permit to work, environmental compliance, and
electrical safety. Total instruction hours exceeded 350,000 hours.
IndonesiaFluors Behavioral Based HSE Program (BBHP) was implemented in Indonesia in
late 2005 at an oil drilling field situated in a jungle environment spanning approximately 217
miles (350 kilometers). BBHPs objective is to increase safe work behaviors and influence the
HSE culture through effective implementation of formal and informal safe work observation
processes. The programs goal is to support the zero incident policy and to minimize injury,
incidents, and loss.

A formal safe work observation process is a major factor in successfully implementing the
BBHP. For the roll-out in Indonesia, initial training and information sessions involved more than
40 individuals. These individuals included clients, HSE compliance staff, key site management,
and other site personnel.
Ongoing BBHP training was positioned to align with the site contractor processes, with BBHPtraining systematically cascading down through the workforce. An initial questionnaire
provided valuable insights into the existing site culture and a baseline designed to track HSE
culture development over the longer term. Substantial work was done for the
initial BBHP roll-out, including creating an original design team and subsequent
steering committee to oversee ongoing program maintenance.
Challenges to the BBHP roll-out included language barriers, cultural
differences, different levels of acceptable safety standards, workforce
development challenges, logistical issues (e.g., site size, terrain, and weather
conditions), and other local demographics. However, daily implementation
challenges to the BBHP have not prevented the emergence of valuable quality
data as a result of effective safe work observations. The data analysis processresulted in the identification and targeting of key areas of work behaviors
for further action. The flexible nature of the BBHP allows for ongoing site
adjustments, as necessary.
As the program roll-out emerges from its infancy into a more mature stage,
individual focus and commitment to safety issues and the effective use of the
key BBHP tools, such as safe work observations, will have the greatest impact
on the outcome. The BBHP will continue to be systematically implemented and adjustments
made according to site requirements.
FLUOR FOUNDATION
The Fluor Foundation, established in 1952, is the companys philanthropic organization. Its purpose is to
respond to the needs, challenges, and opportunities of our society by providing financial assistance to
various nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. Fluor Corporation and the Fluor Foundation
annually contribute $4 million to $5 million to global programs and organizations.
One of the Foundations four areas of giving is health and human services that focus on providing
financial support to groups that provide community services in the areas of food, shelter, family
assistance, emergency relief, and youth services. The Foundation can respond to disaster relief through
a number of mechanisms including corporate contributions, employee giving, and Fluor employee
community service. In 2005, the Fluor Foundation and employee contributions totaled more than
$675,000 for disaster relief worldwide.
Three other areas that the Foundation addresses are:
Education Related, focusing on educational organizations and programs, universities and
schools
Cultural, providing support to visual and performing arts, museums, art education programs,
symphonies, community art festivals, arts funds/councils and public television/radio

EMPLOYEE DONATIONS TO COMMUNITIES
Each year, employees contribute to local community organizations by volunteering their time and talent
to raise money. In North American locations, Fluor supports the United Way and provides the Make-
A-Difference Program in which Fluor matches 50 cents for every dollar donated by employees to the
United Way, as well as other health and human services organizations. In 2005, employees at more
than 40 Fluor offices and project sites pledged more than $2 million to the United Way and other human
services agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada. This amount increased to more than $3 million with
the Make-A-Difference Program match. These contributions support 200 local United Way organization
and more than 400 other human service agencies.
DISASTER RELIEF, RECOVERY, AND RECONSTRUCTION
Fluor has an international workforce of more than 35,000 employees and a network of offices in more
than 25 countries across six continents. The global reach, industry expertise, and broad capabilities
support Fluors ability to quickly respond to disaster relief, recovery, and reconstruction throughout the
regions of the world.
Fluor maintains a leadership role in the development of the Disaster
Resource Network (DRN), an adjunct of the World Economic Forum
(WEF), and is an active member of the organization. The DRN isa global network of companies in the engineering, construction,
logistics, and transportation sectors committed to helping
humanitarian organizations disaster relief efforts. Through annual
membership in the WEF, we help to sustain the activities of the DRN to
identify and deliver human, material, and financial help to relief areas.
The DRNs mission is to leverage the resources of the international
business community to mitigate the human suffering associated with
disasters. It acts as a bridge between businesses and humanitarian
organizations making it easier for businesses to offer talent or in-kind
donations during the emergency response phase of disaster relief.
Fluor is working with member companies of the DRN to develop a mechanism to talk with governmentsat the national level to create systems that will help communities prepare for disaster or mitigate the
effect of a disaster. Fluor strongly supports the development of employees skills that will benefit
their local community in the recovery from local disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and
tornados, fires or explosions. Daily experience in safely working in hazardous environments such as
chemical plants and refineries, nuclear facilities, and military installation refurbishment prepares us to
help recovery efforts in hazardous environments.
Fluor has worked with FEMA since 1997 to provide emergency and disaster response services across
the United States. As a result, the company has developed a professional staff that is sensitive and
responsive to disaster environments. Technical specialists are not only experts in their field, but also
have FEMA training, enabling them to quickly and effectively respond to emergency situations. Fluor is
one of only three companies to hold a contract with the agency, and and our employees have extensivetraining and experience working in a FEMA emergency environment.
Specific Fluor disaster response actions in 2005 included the following examples.
TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND
On Sunday, December 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake rocked the ocean floor off the east coast
of Indonesia, creating a massive tidal wave that caused the loss of nearly 150,000 lives and severe
damage across southern Asia and eastern Africa. People all over the world rushed to help survivors
and provide relief in affected countries, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Maldives,
Malaysia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, as well as Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Seychelles.

The Fluor Foundation made an initial contribution of $100,000 to the American Red Cross International
Response Fund in December. In addition, Fluor Corporation donated $10,000 to the Disaster Resource
Network. In January 2005, Fluor employees from offices and projects around the globe contributed
$176,747 to help ease the suffering of those hit by the tsunami in southern Asia and eastern Africa.
Employees were invited to contribute to relief agencies of their choice around the globe.
HURRICANE KATRINA
Hurricane Katrina was the third major hurricane and
first Category 5 hurricane of the record-breaking 2005
Atlantic hurricane season, hitting the southern U.S. coast
on Auguest 29, 2005. The storm surge from Katrina
caused catastrophic damage along the coastlines of
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Levees separating
Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans were breached
by the surge, ultimately flooding about 80 percent of the
city. Katrina is estimated to be reponsible for $75 billion
in damages, making it the costliest hurricane in United
States history; the storm killed at least 1,383 people.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Fluor Foundation donated $100,000 and invited employees and
retirees around the world to contribute to relief efforts. By September 30, those individual donations
exceeded $329,000. The Fluor Foundation provided a 50 percent match to United Way of America
Hurricane Katrina Response Fund and the American Red Cross. In addition, the company provided
personnel to the World Economic Forums Disaster Relief Network. ICA and ICA Fluor in Mexico
together pledged $100,000, and individual projects and offices around the world joined to raise funds, as
well as collected donations of clothing and food. Employees in the United States also donated the value
of Time Off With Pay/Vacation/Paid Time Off through December 21. These donations were matched by
the Foundation on a 50 percent basis, and the employee and Foundation contributions were designated
to the United Way.
SOUTH ASIA EARTHQUAKE
The Kashmir earthquake (also known as the Northern Pakistan earthquake or South Asia earthquake)
occurred on October 8, 2005 with the epicenter in the Pakistan-administered region of the disputed
territory of Kashmir in South Asia. It registered 7.6 magnitude on the Richter scale. The Pakistani
governments official death toll was more than 87,000.
Employees in the Camberley, U.K., office raised about $1,000 in contributions. Fluor Foundation
contributed $15,000 to Save the Children, designated for earthquake relief.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Support for schoolsEmployees at Fluors Santiago, Chile, office were in the middle of their campaign to collect
school supplies, tennis shoes, and jackets for 150 children at Escuela Basica No. 478 when
they noticed the lack of books in the school library and the state of disrepair of the pre-school
bathrooms.
As soon as their backpacks were distributed, they started a collection of books for the
library and volunteered to repair the bathrooms. Employees working on three projects in
Peru collectively distributed nearly 3,000 backpacks, and in Ilo, they conducted much needed
renovation of the school.

HSE PERFORMANCE
Fluor is proud of another year of outstanding HSE performance. The companys
HSE performance goals were aggressive in 2005, but collectively, Fluor employees
rose to the challenge.
Fluors commitment to protecting our greatest asset our employees began five decades
ago. Today, Fluors strong world-class HSE culture is sustained by unwavering dedication and
personal commitment that begins with the CEO and is shared by every employee. This diligent
commitment is evident on Fluors diverse and complex projects, which are often faced with
geographical, social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental challenges.
Exposure hours increased from 239,384,806 in 2004 to 269,717,990 in 2005,
representing an increase of 13 percent. International markets accounted for more
than 204 million, or 76 percent of work hours in 2005.
Fluor ended the year with restricted workday case incidence rate of 0.15, a lost
workday case rate of 0.05, and a total recordable case incidence rate of 0.46 per
200,000 hours worked.
Fluor employees continue to put forth extraordinary effort to maintain the strong health, safety,
and environmental culture and performance. In 2006, Fluor will strive to improve upon our HSE
progress in 2005.
OFFICE OPERATIONS
Fluors office exposure hours increased slightly from 21,680,105 in 2004 to 22,154,183 in 2005.
International offices represented 53 percent of the hours.
In 2005, Fluor showed improvements in the safety performance rates for office operations:
2004 2005
Total recordable case incidence rate 0.06 0.05
Restricted workday case incidence rate 0.01 0.00
Fluor offices experienced one lost workday case in 2005, for over 22 million worldwide exposure
hours, resulting in a rate of 0.01 per 200,000 hours worked.
FIELD OPERATIONS
Field operations ended 2005 with positive momentum. Collectively, Fluor projects met
the companys goals for restricted and recordable case incidence rates, 0.18 and 0.75
respectively.
Worldwide field operations reduced lost workday cases from 20 in 2004 to 16 in
2005. This improvement is a result of a decline in U.S. lost workday cases, from 10
in 2004 to 6 in 2005. The U.S. achieved a lost workday case rate of 0.03 and non-U.S.
field operations had a rate of 0.05, which was a decrease from 0.07 in 2004. This is a
remarkable achievement considering that there was a 31 percent increase in exposure
hours in 2005 for non-U.S. field operations.
Exposure hours for field projects worldwide increased by 23 percent, from 58,705,097
in 2004 to 72,298,410 in 2005. Activity in Fluors U.S. markets increased by 16 percent,
from 30 million in 2004 to 35 million in 2005. Non-U.S. hours increased from 28 million
in 2004 to 37 million in 2005, an increase of 31 percent.
Some 337 projects and offices
performed the entire year
without experiencing a lost
workday case. Additionally,
265 projects and offices ended
the year without experiencing
a single recordable case.

CLIENT PERSPECTIVE ON HSE
ROBERT STINSON, PROJECT MANAGER FOR CORNING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A
GLASS SUBSTRATE MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN TAICHUNG, TAIWAN, PROVIDES INSIGHT ON
CONTRACTOR HSE PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES ON A LARGE INTERNATIONAL PROJECT.
On a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the most important, how critical to Corning is a contractorsHSE capability? Can you explain why?
Theres no question about it. The HSE capability of a contractor like Fluor is an
absolute 10 in importance to Corning. Our people and safety are the highest
priorities for us and we will never compromise on that.
I write monthly reports which focus on four areas safety, schedule, quality,
and cost. The priorities change from month to month, with one exception. Safety
is always at the top of the list. A poor safety performance can override any
accomplishments you might have on a project.
So the ability of a company like Fluor to enforce and uphold the highest possible
safety standards is an absolute necessity if they are going to do business withus.
Have you seen a shift in importance of HSE performance over time? If so, whats driving the
shift and do you think it will continue?
Yes, theres been a shift. I think its driven by a Western influence, coupled with a growing universal
care for people. Said another way, the value for individuals has taken its rightful place as a top priority.
I think HSE is particularly critical when a project is outside of North America, like the Taichung project.
Fluor is the contractor for the Corning Taichung project. Can you cite some examples where the
Fluor HSE function has made a difference for the project in areas such as whole lifecycle costs,
field performance, subcontractor management and the like?
The fact that the Taichung project is in Asia is an important consideration. The lifecycle cost to enforcesafety in Asia is more expensive. Corning and Fluor really have to manage safety ourselves here. Weve
trained more people and, because of our stringent safety requirements, weve kept only the people
who maintain the highest safety standards. At the same time, safety has improved the workmanship.
High safety standards actually help maintain our timeline with fewer setbacks due to haste and
carelessness. So, it has an overall positive effect and improves the project quality.
Can health and safety performance add to the profitability and value of a project?
No matter how you look at it, health and safety are costs to a project. Theyre not meant to save you
money. When contractors ask us what the budget is for safety, we tell them there are no budget
constraints.
But safety pays off in many other ways. I mentioned earlier that I write a monthly report that alwaysincludes our schedule. Its really important for us to hit our timelines, and having good health and
safety performance keeps us on track with our schedule.
How about environmental performance? Can it make a difference in the profitability and value
of a project?
Good environmental performance is in line with Cornings values. We live and work in the communities
surrounding our facilities. So do many of our customers. So, even though it does have associated
costs, its very important.

PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
Focused career development is critical to maintaining the superiority of our
peoples skills, knowledge, and experience and is a critical component of the Fluor
HSE business strategy. A robust development process benefits Fluor, clients,
and employees and allows Fluor to provide a highly skilled workforce for complex
projects.
In 2005, the corporate HSE group issued its Global Functional Track (GFT) for
use in career planning. The HSE GFT is a set of documents that provides the
framework and tools for understanding potential career paths and the required
skills, behaviors, and knowledge required for those positions within the HSE discipline. The GFT
addresses all HSE career paths, including HSE engineering and HSE construction management.
In late 2005, the corporate HSE group finalized planning for its first Functional Development Forum
(FDF). The HSE FDF is charged with identifying and developing individuals who have the desire and
capability to become recognized experts in HSE and to ensure the continued development, recognition,
and retention of seasoned Fluor HSE professionals. The FDF will designate protges and their
mentors and sponsors and will also capture individual development plans in an online database. The
FDF will be implemented in 2006.
HSE IN DESIGN
Fluor places special emphasis on developing engineering designs that fully consider and mitigate
inherent risks associated with projects that could have the potential to cause harm to people or
the environment. Appropriate, cost-effective HSE features are incorporated into project designs to
minimize the potential for hazardous events or environmental impacts.
HSE design criteria are incorporated into the engineering design of each project component, including
processing equipment, supporting infrastructure, and ancillary facilities. Fluor requires that the
HSE philosophy developed and applied to the basic engineering phase of a project also be applied
consistently through the detailed engineering and construction phases
of the project.
Fluors formalized techniques for HSE reviews provide the mechanism
for documented evaluation and verification of a safe, compliant, and
environmentally responsible facility or project design. HSE in design
revolves around the following concepts:
Consistency in engineering to achieve a low-risk
design
Design that follows standards
Adherence to regulations and codes
Design that minimizes engineering oversights and
errors leading to changes
Satisfactory resolution of all risk mitigation issues
HSE in design according to a plan
While HSE plays a pivotal role in all projects, what follows
are a few of the best examples from 2005.

WETLANDS CREATION
Plans to create a wetland mitigation site in support of State Highway 130 (SH 130) in Williamson
County, Texas represent a true win-win mutual benefit to the environment and to the community. The
project proposes to create a wetland mitigation site from an area excavated to provide construction
materials. The impacts resulting from the construction of SH 130 include effects to surface waters andother wetlands. The creation of this mitigation site is part of the compensatory mitigation requirement
established by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) individual permit for the project.
The plans for the creation of this wetland mitigation site, adjacent to the
San Gabriel River, require approval of the USACE prior to initiation of
construction of the mitigation site. Coordination has also been initiated
with local government bodies to explore possible passive recreational
uses by the public and long-term maintenance arrangements.
Creating a wetland mitigation site provides an opportunity to plan for
various features to realize the maximum value of the area, including
planting of vegetation that encourages wildlife use by creating diverse
habitat types on the site. The vegetation species will provide both coverand food sources for animals that are attracted to a wetland habitat. The
animals provide a source of passive recreation for people who want to
observe mammals, birds, and fish in a natural setting. With the City of
Georgetown and public school nearby, this mitigation site will provide
educational opportunities as the wetland and the surrounding woodlands
mature. In addition, the school may develop opportunities for enhancement of the habitat in and
around the wetland as part of educational programs.
Interpretive features can be installed to facilitate the publics understanding of the benefits and
functions of wetlands and riparian habitats. Furthermore, the design of the site will allow the wetland
to function as a water quality feature by filtering storm water that runs from the north end of the
site through a series of grassy swales into the wetland itself before entering the San Gabriel Riveron the south side of the site. Because this site was a large borrow source, it will be able to detain a
significant amount of flood water by acting as a detention basin in the lower pond.
CO2EMISSION REDUCTION ENGINEERING
Because of skyrocketing oil and gas prices, many of our
clients are turning towards coal (and other solid fuel)
utilization projects. With this trend, carbon capture,
or reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into the
atmosphere, has become a more important goal for
many major energy companies. Fluor has been active
in developing CO2recovery processes for many years,and in 2005 engineering work in this area substantially
increased. Fluor worked with numerous client companies
and technology providers in the development and
application of both post-combustion and pre-combustion
CO2removal systems. Recovered CO
2from these systems
will be beneficially used in applications such as enhanced crude oil production or will be permanently
sequestered from the atmosphere in deep underground formations.

In 2005, Fluor developed engineering enhancements to significantly lower process energy and
chemical requirements for the Econamine FG PlusSMtechnology. This proprietary Fluor process
offers a proven and cost-effective option for the removal of CO2in low pressure, oxygen-containing
flue gas streams from boilers, combustion turbines, and other combustion equipment. The
performance of this process is successfully demonstrated by the more than 24 plants licensed to
date.
Fluor also is working with several clients to evaluate pre-combustion CO2recovery for newly
proposed integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants. Because the product syngas
fuel in an IGCC plant is totally contained under moderate pressure prior to combustion, CO2can
be readily removed. Shifted syngas in which carbon monoxide and water contained in the
syngas have been chemically converted to CO2and hydrogenpresents an attractive opportunity
for increased CO2recovery and further reduced green house gas emissions. Finally, Fluors novel
CO2LDSepSMprocess, which can cryogenically recover sulfur and liquid carbon dioxide from high-
pressure synthesis gas, potentially represents the future of carbon recovery technologies.
PATENTS
Fluor engineers typically apply for 10 to 12 new patents per year. Many of the inventions submittedinclude important HSE benefits. For example, Fluor engineers have devised and patented several
mechanical improvements to the delayed coking process to increase operator safety. (Delayed
coking is used extensively in the petroleum refining industry.) In 2005, these engineers received yet
another patent for an innovative shielding device to enhance operator protection from the very high
pressure water jets used to remove petroleum coke from the processing drums.
Another excellent example of HSE benefits through engineering invention is a pending Fluor patent
for a novel non-destructive testing (NDT) system for thermoplastic pipe joint welds. Industry use
of high density polyethylene pipe and other plastics to handle corrosive or otherwise hazardous
materials continues to increase. The NDT system developed by the Fluor engineers uses ultrasonic
energy to detect internal flaws in piping joints. Prior to this system, external visual inspection
was the only way to evaluate piping integrity. Being able to detect and correct internal weld flawssignificantly reduces the risk of pipe failure. This, in turn, reduces the chances that operating
personnel could be injured or the environment damaged by release of hazardous materials caused
by a pipe failure. This system has already been used to inspect pipe joints in a large capacity acid
pipeline after a weld failure caused an environmental release. More than one-quarter of the pipeline
welds were found to be internally flawed and were repaired prior to restarting the pipeline.
GLOBAL HSE INITIATIVES
AVIAN FLU RESPONSE
Fluor formed an Avian Flu Task Force in 2005 to address the threat of a potential pandemic caused
by the avian flu virus H5N1. The Task Force assists offices and projects globally to be prepared in
the event that the avian flu virus mutates and develops the ability to be transmitted from human to
human.
As migratory birds spread the avian flu virus into different countries, many global issues are
expected to arise. The Task Force monitors and evaluates the evolving situation and develops
appropriate plans and actions that will be beneficial to both the company and our employees.
Fluor relies on a number of organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Center
for Disease Control, and International SOS for continuous updates. Organizations such as WHO
are working with national governments to devise a global response to the threat of an avian flu
pandemic.
Availability of Fluor HSE
information was enhanced
in 2005 by adding the HSE
Management System to
Projects OnLineSM(POL),
Fluors robust, Internet-
based project collaboration
and document management
tool. Fluor uses POL to
engage the entire project
team (including clients,
home office and jobsite
employees, contractors,fabricators, and suppliers)
in communication and
collaboration regardless of
the team members locations
worldwide. Consequently,
both Fluor and non-Fluor
project team members now
have instantaneous access to
the same HSE procedures and
tools.

WORLD WATCH
Because Fluor is a global company, it is important to impart HSE and security information
to our employees and subcontractors. This information is provided through a number of
resources.
Fluor makes available an electronic service called World Watchto our employees,
with the goal of providing HSE and security information to business travelers around
the world. The data available through the site are wide-ranging from translations for
medications and illnesses in a variety of languages to safety precautions in hotels.
In addition, Fluor subscribes to a web-based database called GlobeSmartthat provides
employees with diverse information, such as cultural aspects of various countries.
In 2005, a work group composed of HSE, Security, and Travel representatives evaluated and
implemented several features to make World Watchmore available to employees through links at
key locations throughout Fluors Intranet.
AIRLINE INSIDER
Fluor added Airline Insider to World Watch in 2005. Airline
Insider provides up-to-date information on commercial airline
companies globally. Whether a safety rating or a maintenance
program for a particular airline, the data are available for
evaluation by individuals or teams within Fluor.
HSE AWARENESS
HSE awareness among all Fluor employees is encouraged with various communication tools, suchas newsletters, alerts, Knowledge OnLine, News Online, and Fluors Intranet site. In addition, Fluor
holds annual contests and events to highlight HSE activities, thereby increasing awareness and
elevating the companys HSE culture.
KIDS HSE POSTER CONTEST
This contest has continued to gain popularity since its inception in 1997.
In 2005, the contest drew more than 200 entries from around the globe.
The goal of the contest is to motivate Fluor employees and their children
to take pride and ownership of the HSE program by using their creative
abilities.
Participants were offered cash incentives and honorable mention
certificates. Winning participants also had their entries displayed
via Fluors Intranet site, News Online, and Knowledge OnLine for
worldwide recognition.

FRIENDLY ENGINEERING CONTEST
Fluor holds an annual engineering challenge for employees, called
a Friendly Competition in which contenders are given a specific
project and a list of materials compiled strictly from office supplies
and are asked to pre-engineer the respective task. One week is
allowed for teams to pre-engineer the project and once this phase is
complete, the teams are given one hour to construct their designs.
Many aspects such as safety, costs, and production time are taken
into account before the winning team is announced.
Football World Cup was the project for 2005. Teams were instructed
to construct a device using common office supplies to propel a ball into
a goal. A team in Fluors Haarlem office in The Netherlands won the
competition after an impressive three-and-a-half minute construction
and completion using only two erasers, a paper clip, two thumb tacks,
and an elastic band. This creative game emphasizes Fluors strategic
commitment to cost and schedule focused on fast-track projects.
2005 HSE SLOGAN LOGO
This global competition promotes HSE visibility among all Fluor employees. The winning entry must
encourage a safe and sustainable environment. The incentive to participate includes company-
wide recognition via News Online, a cash incentive, a commemorative plaque, and the winners
slogan displayed on hardhats on projects around the world.
After the management carefully reviewed more than 200 entries, the slogan 2005 Keep
Alive was announced the winner. Fluors ongoing employee involvement will continue to
shape and enhance our exceptional HSE culture.
HSE WEEK 2005
Fluor kicked off the companys first annual HSE Week on April 18, 2005. CEO Alan Boeckmannpromoted this endeavor by impelling the Executive Management Team to engage projects and
offices around the globe to participate in activities such as:
Planting Trees
Kick Off and Revitalization of Current Recycling Programs
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Demonstrations
Special Training
Health Fairs and Screenings
Lunch & Learns
Incentive GiveawaysThe theme for HSE Week 2005, which concluded on Earth Day, was Protecting Our
Children and Our Future.
Global participation during HSE Week 2005 was extremely gratifying, said Garry
Flowers, Senior Vice-president of HSE, Security & Industrial Relations. Employees
demonstrated that they have taken strong steps to fold in the value of health and the
environment with Fluors strong safety culture. With the help of many enthusiastic and
willing volunteers, the first annual HSE week was a resounding success and sets a great
precedent for HSE Weeks to come.

EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE ON HSE
JIM HEAVNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FLUORS UPSTREAM
BUSINESS LINE WITHIN THE ENERGY & CHEMICALS GROUP.
Youve been a major proponent of integrating Fluors HSEexpertise into the projects of your business. Why does this
make good business sense?
Todays oil and gas markets are often found in remote areas
of the world where environmental sensitivities are extremely
high. Its critical that Fluor and our clients are perceived as
culturally sensitive and good environmental citizens. So the more
we integrate environmental, cultural, and safety perspectives into everything we do, including our
designs, the better we serve our clients and our business.
Can you give a couple of examples of projects where HSE has made a difference for you and
your clients?
One that comes to mind immediately is the Tengiz Chevroil project in Kazakhstan. For that matter,
HSE is critical on virtually every project in Kazakhstan given the environmental sensitivities there.
HSE is also of critical importance on the RasGas joint venture project between Qatar Petroleum and
ExxonMobil. On projects like these, its imperative that our clients feel comfortable and confident
that weve looked holistically at environmental, cultural, safety and health issues as they pertain to
our work.
Why is Fluors HSE function a competitive advantage for the company?
First off, I believe Fluor has a first-rate HSE competence in both the design phases and in the field
and its getting stronger and stronger. Thats important because, in todays world, just merely
having the HSE function is not going to distinguish you from the pack. The more HSE resources
you have, the better your case is on the competitive scale and the higher your chances of winningthe work. If you delve into our HSE function and see the talent we have, youll come to the same
conclusion that our HSE function is a real competitive advantage.
Have expectations for HSE capabilities changed over the past five years? How is Fluor
responding to the changes?
Lets go back further than five years. Ten years ago, there were only a handful of sophisticated
players who could distinguish between HSE that was integrated into projects early and the standard
job site safety program. Five years ago, most of the clients and competitors in our business were
zeroing in on HSE, although some were more sophisticated than others.
Today, the best of the best understand that HSE requires a holistic approach to be successful.
By that I mean they consider and understand all the environmental, cultural, safety and healthimplications of what they are doing.
Sometimes this is easier said than done, because we often dont know what we dont know. Let me
give you an example.
We were involved in a project in an area where a particular mushroom was coveted by the local
citizens. The mushrooms were so good our expats began consuming them in large quantities, which
had a serious impact on availability. As strange as it may seem, the locals developed an animosity

toward our expats over this mushroom issue, and it was affecting our relations within the community.
Only after we understood the sensitivities were we able to promote harmony and develop the type of
relationship with the local community that enabled us to efficiently and effectiv
