Health, Safety and Environment
Our top priority: the safety of our employees, the environment and the communities in which we operate. Our goal: a world-class HSE program that continuously delivers excellence in HSE, while focusing on zero harm.
TogetherSAFE: our Pledge of Safety and Zero Injuries
TogetherSAFE: that is our pledge of safety and zero injuries.
Because: safety is one of our core values. A promise to ourselves, to our families. Safety is our way of life. A shared responsibility.
TogetherSAFE is an extension of the core values that guide us at Elementis. It pulls our commitment to safety and our team ethos into a culture of shared responsibility – and shared success.
Because: we can't achieve outstanding safety performance without the support and commitment of each individual. Everyone plays a part in our company's success - in safety and beyond.
TogetherSAFE. These are not empty words, but a pledge and commitment to absolute safety and zero injuries. None of us is safe until all of us are safe.
Our Key HSE Programs
Stop work authority
All employees are responsible and authorized to stop any work that is unsafe or does not comply with our Life Saving Rules. There will be no repercussions for doing so.
Basic safety process
We have implemented a basic safety process at all sites and facilities. This process is designed to promote visible leadership, active communication, establish accountabilities, commitments, and employee involvement. Above all, we focus on continuously reducing risk and eliminating hazards
Process safety management
As a chemical manufacturer, our HSE programs are risk-based and process safety-centric. We’ve implemented process safety management elements at all of our operating facilities, including those that don’t fall under legislative requirements. We manage our HSE risks to a high standard, which is a core priority for our team.
Ten Life Saving Rules
Clear - practical - mandatory. Elementis' ten life-saving rules are a top priority. Because it is irrefutably clear: Failure to comply with these rules results in an increased risk of injury to our employees, contractors and/or visitors. That's why upon learning of a violation of even one of the lifesaving rules, every employee must immediately notify supervisors. And: It is the responsibility of every employee to stop work in any situation where a life-saving rule is not followed.
