Employees at all levels of the company share this philosophy and are committed to take ownership in being safe and thinking safety at all times. Our commitment to health and safety benefits everyone—our employees, our customers, the community, and the environment. In order to protect our employees, continue to lower our incident rates, and satisfy our customers’ demands to retain the best service providers with the lowest TRIR, DART and EMR rates, Clean Harbors continuously improves on our health and safety excellence. SafetyFirst!, a companywide comprehensive program, is one example of our efforts to meet these requirements. SafetyFirst! is not a top-down management program; rather, it’s a program that starts with our employees. All employees recognize the importance of protecting themselves, their fellow employees, our customers, and all those around them from harm. We demonstrate through our words and actions that we will reinforce acceptable safety practices and stop unsafe acts before they become a statistic. SafetyFirst! is not just a slogan—it’s our commitment to keep the protection of our fellow workers in the forefront of everything we do. Our Safety Starts with Me: Live It 3-6-5 initiative further enhances our safety culture by fostering goodwill and driving home the importance of safety in our company all year long. The name says it all–365 days a year, we all need to work safe and be safe, whether we are at Clean Harbors, at a customer site, in transit, or at home. It’s a safety lifestyle. Injuries are not acceptable and all members of our organization work to prevent them. Bringing our employees into the development and training processes brings ownership. Employees know that creating an injury-free environment is within their control and will lead to our desired safety outcome. Our solid safety practices also have a domino effect. Employees feel more confident in a safe environment. Morale gets a boost, productivity increases, and we can focus on serving our customers. Customers benefit from a safer work environment and reduced costs. 3 Safety Philosophies The three in 3-6-5 is for our three fundamental safety philosophies. 1.
