Achieving ZERO

For us, safety is a non-negotiable. As it should be for any company, especially for businesses involved with manufacturing. At AirProducts we strive for every employee to return home safely, and firmly believe that nothing is more important than workplace safety measures.?

We are confident that all accidents can be prevented and are committed to achieving the only acceptable benchmark - zero accidents in production. Year after year, we improve safety measures at all sites to protect our employees.

One of them being the ZERO INCIDENTS policy, which is based on several key notions:

• ?Nothing is more important than safety. Production, sales, profits always come second, because safety comes first.
• All accidents and injuries are preventable, not inevitable.
• Safety is a management responsibility.
• Safety is an individual responsibility, and a condition of employment.
• Safety is a way of living – day in and day out.
• Every task must be performed with a concern for safety: for ourselves, our fellow employees, our contractors, our visitors, our customers and the communities in which we operate.

Over the years, this approach has been something that allowed us to achieve incredible results and made sure that our employees return home to their families safe and healthy.? Since 2014, We have improved our employee lost-time injury rate by 58% and our recordable injury rate by 38%.

The journey to ZERO incidents remains our top priority, and we continue to improve our measures to protect our employees at any cost necessary.

Since the beginning we have treated safety as our obligation, not as a nice-to-have. Why? Because our people at AirProducts are our most treasured and valuable asset we could possibly ever have.

Everything else comes after.
