Safety and Quality

Our vision is to be a company that is incident free, delivers on our promises to our customers, and leaves the environments and communities in which we operate better than we found them.

At every level of our organization, we lead with a commitment to operating safely and delivering quality products and services. This is embedded in our culture and everything we do.

Demonstrating Our Commitment to Safety

Safety is a fundamental component of our culture. We do not take shortcuts when it comes to the safety of our employees or those around us. To guide us on our journey to be incident-free, we have a suite of programs embedded into our overall operational management system:

Eight Gems

Eight Gems

Identify hazards, manage risk, and reduce incidents

Our Eight GEMS (Getting Everyone Managing Safety) program is designed to educate employees and empower them to intervene when they see unsafe acts. Each GEM has an associated set of Rules to Live By which guide our employees’ behavior. Through this program, we have improved our employees’ ability to identify hazards, manage risk, and reduce incidents.
