Safety in Our Facilities
Health and Safety Audits
Internal health and safety audits are a fundamental management tool in our program. We built our audit process based on OSHA requirements and best management practices to focus on three main requirements: documentation and training, facility conditions and associate interviews.
Measuring Safety Performance
We are committed to achieving the highest level of safety for our associates. In 2022, there were zero employee fatalities, and we reduced our TRIR at our facilities.
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Incident Investigation
Our EHS management system provides multiple tools for our associates to proactively identify safety, ergonomic and other occupational hazards in the workplace.
Occupational Health and Safety Training for Associates
Associate training and engagement is another key component of our overall EHS program. We require training for all associates upon hire and annually thereafter, in accordance with country- and state-specific EHS requirements and identified best practices.
Contractor Safety
Contractors are a critical part of our operations, and we extend the same commitment to safety for these workers at our facilities as we do for our direct associates. Our EHS program includes a robust Contractor Safety Program that helped us record zero contactor fatalities in our facilities in 2022.
Associate Wellness
Ensuring safe working conditions is just one part of our commitment to our associates. We also work to create conditions that support our associates’ everyday health and wellness. We believe this ongoing support is essential to our success, because healthier and happier employees perform better and create a positive work culture.
