We continually prepare for a number of inspections and
external audits. These are welcomed as it only reemphasizes our need to remain
safety-vigilant.
Our district fire inspector conducts quarterly review of our
facility with walk-through inspections. Sprinklers and back-flow devices are
flow-tested once a year; fire alarms are inspected by an outside certified
company quarterly. Respirators are also fit tested and receive an annual
inspection.
All chemical companies must have readily available Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Even with our MSDS located on a shared drive, paper
copies are kept updated on the production line for quick access for the kettle
operators. Our vessels, with emphasis on the weld seams, are inspected for
corrosion on a regular basis.

Drills for emergency evacuation, forklift training, and
hazardous material handling all are completed periodically to remain compliant.
Not only do we follow government regulations, but we also follow voluntary
“good practice” measures with detailed and documented processes for responsibly
managing the logistics associated with the chemical industry.
