In 2018, 25 Trinseo manufacturing teams and all R&D groups –
encompassing 1,783 employees – earned the prestigious “Triple Zero
Award,” recognizing that their work groups had zero recordable injuries,
zero reportable spills, and zero process safety incidents. Globally, 81
percent of eligible teams received Triple Zero recognition.
Trinseo believes in continuously improving EH&S performance, with the
ultimate goal of zero injuries, spills, and process safety incidents in
all of our facilities every year. EH&S and Responsible Care®
are core values and strategic priorities for Trinseo. The Triple Zero
Award program recognizes and appreciates the effort and discipline of
manufacturing plant and lab teams that achieve incident-free operation
over the calendar year.
“At Trinseo, protecting people and the environment is part of everything
we do and every decision we make,” said Catherine Keenan, Vice
President, Public Affairs, Sustainability and EH&S. “Meeting or
exceeding the highest standards of environmental and safety performance
is a value that’s deeply held by all our people. Congratulations to
every Trinseo employee who shares in this accomplishment.”
In 2018, the company implemented a behavioral safety program called
“Safety on Purpose”, focused on safety conversations and positive
interventions between employees, which also was a positive contributor
to the strong safety performance for the year.
“As our company grows and as new team members join, one constant has
been our strong safety culture. Everyone has a sense of accountability
for their safety and the safety of their colleagues. Triple Zero
performance can only be achieved if each and every individual engages by
devoting their attention, and effort on working safer, every day, every
time,” said Ted Kietzman, Trinseo global EH&S Director.
