Trinseo leadership believes in the “vision of zero” with the ultimate
goal of zero injuries, spills or process safety incidents in all of our
facilities every year. With safety being one of the company’s strategic
priorities, Trinseo created the Triple Zero Award (000) program to
recognize and reward manufacturing plants and labs that operate and
respond according to environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) best
practices incident free.
In 2016, 21 Trinseo manufacturing plants and three global R&D groups—
encompassing 1,486 employees—earned the Triple Zero Award, making 2016 a
remarkable year for Trinseo in EH&S performance. With 83% of eligible
teams receiving Triple Zero recognition, Trinseo achieved its best
safety results since the company’s formation.
“Environmental, Health, and Safety and Responsible Care® is the
foundation of our culture at Trinseo. It drives a behavior that shows
respect for individuals, safety and the environment,” said Chris Pappas,
President and CEO, Trinseo. “While zero recordable injuries, spills, and
process safety incidents is an ambitious goal, these teams have
demonstrated that with the right training, focus and diligence, our
'vision of zero' is in fact achievable.”
At Trinseo, protecting people and the environment is part of everything
we do and every decision we make. Meeting or exceeding the highest
standards of environmental and safety performance is one of our core
values.
“Our remarkable record is a direct reflection of the safety culture
embedded in our people who work safely every day,” said Ted Kietzman,
Trinseo global EH&S director. “As a result of their efforts Trinseo is a
top five performer among all American Chemistry Council members.”
