We intend to continue our focus on safety and training in order to minimize accidents and injuries to our employees, which also helps to increase our facilities’ reliability, and high on-stream production rates. For each calendar year from 2005 through 2011, our East Dubuque facility received the Canadian National Railway Corporation award for our safe and responsible handling of dangerous goods.

Our safety initiatives include:

• Employee led plant safety leadership teams
• Behavioral-based safety programs
• Safety incentive programs
