PQ Principles: Behavioral Safety and Operational Safety
We have global operating processes in place to protect our employees, the community, and the environment. We have robust systems to control processes, and any changes to those processes are reviewed before implementation to ensure
the safety and well-being of all personnel.
Specifically, we have implemented the PQ Principles, which are 20 tenets (10 Behavioral Safety and 10 Operational Safety), to help prevent workforce incidents and injuries, as well as to preserve asset integrity and avoid loss of containment.
While only a few of our plants in the United States are subject to the OSHA Process Safety Management Program (PSM) or the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP), we apply Best Practices across
all of our facilities worldwide—going above and beyond local requirements to ensure the safety of our employees and the community.
