Dow Corning, a world leader in silicones, silicon-based
technology and innovation, has been named one of America’s Safest
Companies by EHS Today. Twelve companies were selected for the 2010
honor.
EHS Today, a magazine dedicated to management of risk in the
workplace and environment, created the award in 2002 to recognize
companies for innovative safety solutions within their operations.
It is open to all American companies, regardless of size or
industry.
According to Sandy Smith, executive editor of EHS Today, “The
winning companies empower their employees to play an active role in
corporate safety culture; offer safety education through rigorous
training programs or corporate universities; consider OSHA
compliance as a starting point; and invest in safety at every
level.”
At Dow Corning, safety is one of the core values that drive the
company’s business decisions. Dow Corning’s comprehensive
safety practices are focused on preventing accidents, eliminating
their root causes, and managing chemicals responsibly throughout
their life cycles.
“We like to think that all our employees are safety
professionals – as we infuse both the skills and responsibilities
in each of them to ensure the proper application of safety
principles for every operation, every day,” said Mike Snyder,
global director of corporate safety, industrial hygiene and loss
prevention, Dow Corning Corporation.
Dow Corning and other honorees on the America’s Safest Companies
list were recognized at an award ceremony on October 4, as part of
the National Safety Council’s Annual Conference in San Diego,
California.
“Having received this recognition, we are energized to continue
the hard work in executing our safety strategy,” said Snyder. “As a
recognized safety leader, we will maintain the vigilance and safe
operating discipline needed to deliver against our plan.
“We are honored by this recognition, but humbled with the
responsibility of being an America’s Safest Company award winner –
ensuring we remain a highly reliable organization in safety.”
