Our values
At Irving Oil, safety is a core value and is fundamental to how we operate our business every day. We always strive to do the right things, in the right ways, at all times for our employees, our communities and the environment.
About the Irving Energy Bulk Plant − Dartmouth
The facility focuses on the distribution of propane for mainland Nova Scotia, as well as the preparation of residential and commercial propane tanks for filling, placement and flaring. This facility is located next to the Irving Oil Halifax Harbour Terminal in the community of Woodside in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Products handled at this facility include:
- Propane
The following information outlines the potential effects of this substance in the unlikely event of an emergency.
- Propane is a flammable liquid and a compressed gas. Propane can be easily ignited by high temperatures, sparks or flames.
- Propane is a health hazard and falls in the “explosion” hazard category under federal E2 Regulations. Exposure to high concentrations of propane can result in headaches and other symptoms of the central nervous system, such as nausea and dizziness. Overexposure may lead to vomiting and fatigue; as a worst-case scenario, if oxygen levels are sufficiently reduced, unconsciousness and death can occur.

Across our operations, these plans are part of our standard procedures. At our Dartmouth facility, our emergency management plans are based primarily on prevention, with equipment inspection and maintenance programs in place.
