Occupational Health and Safety
The health and safety of our people, including visitors and contractors, is critical to the sustainable operation of our company and is the driving force behind our century-long manufacturing success story. Our EHSS We Care Policy and Standards guide our risk-reduction efforts globally. Our We Care Standards are self-assessed by each manufacturing location annually and validated by an on-site Corporate Governance Assessment every other year.
Safeguarding Our Employees: Our Attitudes for Life
In our manufacturing, warehouse and field service locations, certain processes and machinery and equipment involve workers performing high-consequence work. By using properly designed controls and systems, layering multiple defenses and having competent authorized workers, we are able to approach high-risk situations with caution and diligence. Our Attitudes for Life are foundational precautions and desired behaviors aimed at preventing serious and life-altering injuries to our employees and contractors performing high-risk activities.
Since their development in 2022, we have spent time circulating the Attitudes for Life and providing awareness and training in all of our facilities. We train and empower all workers to be more effective at intervention on behalf of others when faced with a potentially high-risk situation. We also provide channels by which anyone can speak up when safety concerns with a high-risk-potential outcome arise.
