ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY
Our companies will manage all operations in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of employees, customers, contractors and the public while fully complying with applicable laws, regulations and
other legal requirements.
Employees have the obligation and the ability to prevent incidents. Any employee who knowingly violates applicable environmental, health and safety policies, laws and/or regulations will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination.
