Viva Energy has created an easy way for the community to receive important alerts if there’s
activity at the Geelong Refinery that might look or sound different to usual, or to provide
initial information if a Refinery alarm sounds.
To start receiving these alerts, simply email a request to join the Refinery Alert Service to
[email protected] to receive alerts via SMS.
Viva Energy will only ask for your mobile number, email address, and suburb. Your
information will only be used to keep you informed about the Geelong Refinery.
The refinery’s safety alarm system is intended for on-site personnel only. If a siren sounds, it
does not mean the community needs to take action.
The safety alarm sirens are tested every Tuesday at 9am. A minor alarm is a one-minute
sound that is a flat, even noise. A major alarm it is a one-minute sound that rises and falls.
The all-clear alarm sounds for 15 seconds and is a flat, even noise.
If you hear a siren at any other time and want to find out more, call 1800-651-818.
