Sulco Chemicals Limited is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace. Sulco will comply with or exceed the requirements of all environmental and occupational health and safety legislation; to correct promptly any existing environmental and occupational health and safety issues; to continually improve and reduce emissions and injury; and to take proactive measures to avoid future incidents in a cost effective manner.
As a member of the Canadian Chemical Producers Association (CCPA), Sulco embraces the guiding principles of Responsible CareŇ, a set of initiatives to ensure safe handling of chemicals throughout the value chain and to deal with public concerns over chemicals and their impact on the world we live in. Sulco is committed to the global Responsible CareŇ requirement for reducing emissions and employee injury, as well as eliminating all product related incidents in manufacturing, storage, handling, transportation, and disposal. To achieve this goal Sulco is committed to:
- Operate our facility with respect and care for the environment and the health and safety of our employees.
- Identify, assess and manage environmental, health and safety hazards associated with all activities.
- Taking all reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors, customers and the community.
- Continual evaluation of the risk of our operations and the impact upon the community, neighbours, and the environment.
- Protect our employees from exposure to hazardous chemicals during transfer operations.
- Report and review all incidents and accidents to appropriate authorities and the public.
- Assess environmental, health and safety issues during the design phase of all new facilities, processes, equipment, and procedures; and terminate any activity that cannot be carried out safely.
