Safety



A Strong Safety Culture

Our vision is to be a company that is incident free, delivers on our promises to our customers, and leaves the environments and communities in which we operate better than we found them. At every level of our organization, we lead with a commitment to operating safely and delivering quality products and services. This is embedded in our culture and everything we do.

Safety is a fundamental component of our culture. We do not take shortcuts when it comes to the safety of our employees or those around us. To guide us on our journey to be incident-free, we have a suite of programs embedded into our overall operational management system. Our Eight GEMS (Getting Everyone Managing Safety) program is designed to educate employees and empower them to intervene when they see unsafe acts. Each GEM has an associated set of Rules to Live By which guide our employees’ behavior. Through this program, we have improved our employees’ ability to identify hazards, manage risk, and reduce incidents.

Protecting The Enviroment

We understand the importance of protecting and enhancing the environments in which we operate and live. Our Four Tenets program encourages employees to take an active role through better management of our waste, water, land, and energy resources ranging from raising awareness to the simple actions we can take each day to make a difference, to more robust technical solutions. These environmentally conscious standards enable us to make the right choices and are directly related to the sustainability of our organization.

The security of our people is of great importance. We work constantly to ensure we are as best prepared as possible to meet the challenges of tomorrow, wherever they may arise. Throughout our organization, we conduct training and education on the early identification of risk scenarios, ensure prompt notifications to employees if a situation arises, and have streamlined response and reporting protocols in place to make sure our employees remain out of harm’s way.
