SAFETY

The Global sites continue to drive Safety Health and Environment (SHE) improvement through the implementation / improvement of a number of programs such as Process Safety Management (PSM), Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and Environmental Management Systems (EMS).  It is easy to measure our safety performance through the after-the-fact reporting of the number of injuries we have each year for OSHA, but it is far more important to measure our safety performance before any incident occurs and before we have an injury. We can do this by measuring our compliance against these programs we are putting in.  

We can also proactively measure how well we are imparting the core value of SH&E in our business by talking to our employees each and every day about safety and environmental awareness and ask them how they can contribute to a safe and compliant site; whether through cleaning up after they finish a job; or through reporting a hazard that if addressed now could prevent an incident occurring in the future; or simply by taking the time to think about a job before starting and making sure they have identified and controlled any possible hazards.
