El Paso Refinery

MPC El Paso Refinery requires all contract employees to be enrolled, and they must participate in, an approved drug and alcohol testing program (DISA). The contract employee must have an "active/green" status in order to be issued a refinery access badge. Any "inactive/red" status results must be managed directly with DISA and not MPC personnel. All DISA expenses are the responsibility of the contractor and not MPC.

Graded background checks are required for everyone requesting a MPC entry badge. DISA Global Solutions is the risk management screening provider for the El Paso Refinery.  The graded score must be a 2 or below.  

*New DISA Applicants: To set up a DISA Works account please send them to [email protected]

Include: 

• Company Name

*Please be aware that it is up to your organization to follow-up with the Background Check Vendor to confirm results. (Background checks are good for 2 years from their order date)
