We are committed to providing the best
possible working conditions for all of our
employees. To accomplish this, our companies
comply with all occupational health, safety,
and environmental laws and strive to
maintain the best operations, procedures and
policies to provide such conditions.
The safety and health of our employees
and the protection of the environment are
our companies' greatest responsibilities.
Every manager is accountable for the safety
and health of himself, the people and
equipment he manages or supervises and the
impact they have on the environment. Our
employees are directed to take a pro- active
stance in initiating and maintaining a safe
and healthful working environment. The
companies define safe operating procedures
designed to meet or exceed all legal
requirements and industry-wide "best
operating practices."
Health, safety, and environmental aspects
of our operations shall always be considered
as being equally important as other business
objectives. The companies actively
participate with all clients and other
authorities in developing and promoting high
industry standards. Management, therefore,
must provide the incentive and full support
of all safety procedures and training to
maintain a healthy, safe, environmentally
sound and reliable operation.
