The Safety & Environmental Charge helps offset the costs of stringent requirements in safety and environmental protection, including rigorous compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the areas we serve, which is a key element of Praxair’s atmosphere of excellence. This commitment provides our customers with a number of benefits, such as properly labeled cylinders, fleet compliance, highly trained truck drivers and delivery vehicles better equipped for safe operation. Conducting safety seminars and providing emergency response assistance are additional ways that Praxair promotes the safe use and handling of our products.
