We ensure our facilities and other workplaces are safe, healthy environments to protect the health and well-being of our associates and others who use our facilities. We provide multiple tools for our associates to proactively identify safety, ergonomic and other occupational hazards in the workplace.

Our Health and Safety Management System covers all operations and associates, including full-time, contracted temporary associates and contractors.
Our Safety Observation Program equips associates with tools to identify and address potential hazards in the workplace across seven topics—personal protective equipment, working surfaces, machine safety, material handling, forklift, tools and equipment and line of fire. Any hazards identified are either immediately corrected, or they are actioned by site leadership and tracked during the facility's daily meetings. We expanded the program to track safety observation data companywide and review it with site EHS managers on a biweekly basis.
All associates, including full-time and contracted temporary workers, actively participate in our Health and Safety Management System. The EHS Team shares information across the organization through formal classroom training, shift kickoff meetings and safety alerts. The EHS Team creates safety alerts after recordable injuries or significant near misses that contain information about the incident and corrective actions targeted at eliminating the hazard so that all sites can review and help avoid reoccurrence.
Associates are trained in immediate incident reporting, and we take all incidents seriously, whether injury or near-miss. We fully investigate each case within 24 hours through our formal incident investigation process, which includes a written program, first report of incident and root cause identification through the “five whys” method.
All sites are required to complete an annual Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, a process that identifies and scores the risk related to specific job tasks. We then implement corrective actions following the hierarchy of controls method.
We conduct Occupational Health and Safety Training for all associates in health and safety practices in order to minimize the number and severity of incidents. We require training for all associates upon hire and annually thereafter, in accordance with country- and state-specific EHS requirements and identified best practices.
Our EHS Contractor Safety Program manages contractor safety at our facilities at each stage of the relationship, including a prequalification screening for safety performance and risks, orientation on our EHS expectations and internal EHS audits. In 2025, we had zero recordable injuries to third-party contractors in our facilities.
