We refuse to accept the conventional view that accidents are an inherent part of steel making. Safety at Cargill Steel is a core value. We understand that if we make safety a core value and always put safety first, quality and efficiency are sure to follow. The deeply ingrained attitudes and work habits that help our employees avoid accidents are the same characteristics that enable us to produce ton after ton of high quality steel. Safety is an ongoing process with us, and it receives active support from all levels of management.
Training is a way of life.
Inspections are frequent and thorough. All incidents are carefully investigated, causes identified, and appropriate corrective action taken. Safety statistics are compiled and used to uncover potential problem areas. All new equipment is evaluated with accident prevention uppermost in mind. And 1 out of every 3 people throughout our organization has emergency medical training.
