Safety Measures
Health and environmental protection safety is a top priority to our management.
At CWL STORAGE COMPANY LLC, we prioritize safety, health, and environmental (HSE) procedures in our operations, adhering to the guidelines set forth by federal health and safety agencies. Our strict safety measures ensure that products are safely stored, loaded, and unloaded, all while operating under a license granted by the relevant authorities.At CWL STORAGE COMPANY LLC, we recognize our responsibility to minimize harm to the environment through measures such as reducing emissions and preventing accidental spills. We understand the importance of being a responsible member of the communities in which we operate, and our Environmental Management System is integrated into all our internal standards and governmental regulatory requirements. This policy ensures that we operate in an environmentally sustainable manner, prioritizing the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
CWL STORAGE COMPANY LLC has implemented a program of enhancements across all our operations to significantly reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to air pollution and may pose health risks. We not only focus on reducing emissions but also assessing their overall social impact, with a goal of decreasing it by at least 90%. Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint is strong, and we aim to achieve climate neutrality within the coming years.
At CWL STORAGE COMPANY LLC, we prioritize safety above all else in our HSSE Policy, pledging to prevent all accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses across all our subsidiaries. We are committed to implementing technical, organizational, and behavioral safety measures to achieve this goal and foster a proactive safety culture. Our unwavering dedication to safety is a top priority in all our operations.
The central Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) department at CWL STORAGE COMPANY LLC creates guidelines and establishes minimum requirements for all our subsidiaries. We set specific goals and assess performance against these targets to foster ongoing improvement in HSSE performance across our organization. This systematic approach ensures that we maintain the highest possible standards in all areas of HSSE management.
To further enhance safety and environmental management, we have developed customized HSSE manuals for each of our operating units. These manuals are designed to align with the specific requirements of each site and serve as a foundation for the development of local management systems. By implementing these tailored systems, our subsidiaries are better equipped to manage HSSE risks and improve overall performance in these areas.
To promote continuous improvement in safety, health, security, and environmental management, we maintain a global incident database that captures all accidents, incidents, near misses, unsafe acts, and conditions. Our team systematically analyzes these incidents to identify underlying causes and preventative measures. If necessary, HSSE alerts are created, distributed to the relevant sites, and discussed with our employees to ensure that lessons learned are effectively communicated and implemented across our organization. This proactive approach helps us to prevent similar incidents from recurring and fosters a culture of safety and environmental responsibility.
To ensure adherence to our internal standards, we conduct regular internal HSSE audits across our organization's sites. These audits assess compliance with our policies and procedures, identify areas for improvement, and provide recommendations for corrective action. Additionally, we analyze detailed HSSE statistics, including both "leading" (forward-looking) and "lagging" (retrospective), key performance indicators (KPIs). By focusing on both leading and lagging indicators, we can proactively address potential safety, health, security, and environmental risks and measure our progress towards achieving our HSSE goals.
Training and educating our employees is a key component of our commitment to conducting our business operations in a safe, healthy, and environmentally friendly manner. Prior to commencing work or visiting our facilities, new employees, contractors, and visitors receive instruction on HSSE protocols. This ensures that everyone is well-informed and equipped to prioritize safety, health, and environmental practices in their roles within our organization.
