Leadership Commitment<\/h3>\n

Valuing people includes providing a safe and healthy work environment and creating a culture of safety that extends beyond the workplace, into our homes and communities. Safety is, and always will be, our primary focus and core value. We intend for each individual to arrive at the workplace and return home safely each day\u2014without accident or injury. This is achievable when we all work together. It requires commitment from leadership and team members at every level to take ownership and responsibility for their safety and the safety of others.<\/p>\n

Safety is always at the fore of our decision-making. We are committed to achieving world-class safety performance throughout all our businesses. This commitment is foundational and integral to our culture. Working as one team, we will achieve it.<\/p>\n

Take Control of Safety<\/h3>\n

We are continually evaluating and expanding our safety programs by focusing on increased individual and team awareness, and potential hazard identification and removal, with a goal to eliminate potential injuries. This forward-looking approach to safety includes specific actions in three key areas:<\/p>\n

Safety Performance<\/h3>\n

While each of our platforms performed better than industry benchmarks, we continually look for ways to refine and improve our safety programs to ensure a safe outcome for everyone. The leadership team and safety professionals located throughout our businesses are responsible for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the programs. However, our success depends on the awareness and personal commitment of each of our team members. It is everyone\u2019s responsibility to be committed to their own safety and to the safety of others.<\/p>\n

Health<\/h3>\n

Our teams\u2019 health and well-being are inextricably linked to their safety. We have nurses available at all of our major locations. We believe it is critical to the support of our operational teams\u2019 health. Our nursing team implements health and safety programs and provides guidance regarding safe practices at work and home. Our nurses help our teams make healthier, well-informed choices and at times find outside resources for managing their health. Our nurses work alongside our safety professionals to prevent injuries and illnesses, and to care for our teams. <\/p>\n

Our leadership teams, safety professionals, and nursing team have been instrumental in our responsible handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Protecting the health and well-being of our teams and communities is at the core of who we are \u2014 it is also a commitment we make to each other.\n<\/p>\n
