Safety

HSEQ is Woven in the Fabric of Our Daily Operations

Our most valuable assets are our people; keeping them safe will always be a priority. Guided by our Core Values and corporate philosophy to create a zero-harm workplace, we strive to bring our workers home safely to family and friends. We work together to protect one another and be the best in our industry.

Hazards are part of any business; we strive to identify safe solutions to prevent harm. It is our responsibility. Our mission is to provide and maintain safe working environments through comprehensive safety training, meaningful audits of our workplaces, and safe insightful solutions to manage risks.

Our vision is to achieve zero harm to our employees, customers, community, and environment while supplying our industry's safest, highest-quality products and services.

HSEQ Policy

We believe safety is central to everything we do. We integrate safety into every step of our operations and work continually to ensure it is at the core of our culture. Our integrated management systems, combined with associated policies and procedures, provide detailed guidelines for safe operations. Still, we depend upon the actions of individuals for them to be effective and successful. Every individual in the organization has a role to play.

HEALTH

Ensuring a healthy workplace is paramount for the well-being and productivity of our employees. We prioritize health principles to create a conducive environment by promoting health initiatives such as regular exercise, ergonomic workstations, and mental well-being support. Our commitment empowers employees to thrive, fostering a culture of health where everyone's well-being is valued and protected.

ENVIRONMENT

Preserving and protecting the environment is a key aspect of our approach at the workplace. We are dedicated to minimizing our ecological footprint and promoting sustainable practices. By implementing environmental considerations into our daily operations, we aim to ensure a healthier planet for future generations while setting an example for responsible corporate citizenship.

QUALITY

We are steadfast in our commitment to superior customer service quality, a critical element to our mission and success. Delivering exceptional service begins with a quality management system that provides structure and consistency for the products we purchase and sell. We hold a high standard and focus on delivering quality products and services by participating in organizations like ISO and API that are equally important to us and our customers.

Think Safe. Work Safe. Be Safe.

We have implemented several initiatives to continuously improve the safety and well-being of our personnel. These initiatives include unique global safety campaigns to enhance communication and improvements in our HSEQ Management System. We have included training and awareness topics beyond work activities to support our mission of keeping our employees safe, such as at-home health and safety. We provide all the training and tools so that safety becomes integral to our employees’ everyday workplace and home behavior.

We maintain a Global Safety Champion network to encourage conversations regarding HSEQ, promote safe practices, and help lead our safety initiatives.
