Ensuring Team Member Safety
We maintain strict compliance with our global health and safety program, SIPS, which is designed to drive health and safety improvements across our company with the new goal of aligning the companywide program with the ISO 45001 certification. SIPS builds on the success of our Employee Injury Prevention Management System (EIPMS) established in 2007, which resulted in our safety record improving substantially over the years. Our rates are consistently better than competitors and, for many years, better than general industry rates.
