Health, Safety and Wellness. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our employees and the members of the communities in which we operate. We continuously assess the risks our employees face at our facilities and we work to mitigate those risks through frequent training and other preventative safety and health programs and on the job training. We strive for zero injuries and accidents, to foster systems and processes aimed to continuously improve our health and safety performance and to integrate risk management relating to health and safety into all aspects of our operations. We emphasize the importance of safety and seek to create a safety conscious culture by, among other things, including safety performance metrics and KPIs in our annual incentive awards to our executives.
