The health and safety of our team members has always been West’s top priority. This mindset is supported by our Board of Directors and is led by our President and CEO, Eric Green, who often reiterates his belief that “one incident is one too many.”

Although Corporate Responsibility is often most thought of as caring for the environment and giving back to local communities, we firmly believe that it also means taking responsibility for the health and safety of our team members, contractors and visitors, and working to safeguard them against work-related accidents and illnesses. It is West’s policy to comply with all applicable health and safety laws and regulations, and we are committed to designing and operating our facilities to provide a healthy and safe workplace.

Recently, we posted the first part of our Corporate Responsibility Report blog series focusing on Environmental Responsibility.  This series will cover each of West’s key areas of focus where we feel we can make the greatest impact: Environmental Responsibility, Health and Safety, Compliance and Ethics, Diversity, Philanthropy and Quality. In this part of the series, we are focusing on Health and Safety, and the proactive approach West is taking in this area.
