KRONOSafe

Safety is a core value shared by all at KRONOS. We protect ourselves and our co-workers through constant attention to safety and safe behaviors. It is this culture of safety that supports our “Go for Zero” injuries.

Safety is a Top Priority

The safety of our workforce is critical to our success. We are committed to maintaining a strong safety culture where all employees meet or exceed industry performance standards and continuously seek to improve occupational and process safety performance. We demonstrate our commitment by ensuring our processes, plants and other facilities maintain safe operations, and by providing our employees with the tools and training necessary to make the right decisions to prevent accidents and injuries.

Our Approach

Worker safety is actively managed by a robust management structure and system. Our SEEQ policy communicates that the safety of our workers is a top priority of the company. Guidelines, standards, work instructions, sharing of best practices, and training at the corporate and individual site levels are keys to our success. From the shop floor to executive management, all employees must share in the responsibility to keep each other safe. Each location employs dedicated, and experienced safety managers supported by a global safety management structure ultimately reporting to executive management.

KRONOSafe

A culture-based approach

Despite our existing strong safety programs and tools, we continue to experience a low number of preventable injuries. Our aim is zero injuries, so in 2020, KRONOS initiated a new and innovative long-term global approach to safety improvement. We will not be satisfied until we achieve zero injuries at every facility, but this goal can only be realized through a company-wide attitude and culture where each employee, regardless of position or title, takes ownership and responsibility for their own safety and safety of others around them.

A strong safety culture requires diligence, honest communication, and a strong sense of community in the workplace. To reach zero incidents, these must become second nature to everyone. In 2020, KRONOS issued the Global Safety Culture Guideline, Rules, Accountability, and Communications providing minimum standards and safety rules applicable to all KRONOS employees. The guideline sets a long-term plan to enhance safety performance through enhanced communication, training, and accountability for both positive and negative behaviors.
