On driving towards international safety
Our Health, Safety, and Environment Department continually stages safety training throughout the company. Such training represents process-related risk assessment, including past unsafe incidents, to yield data for reviewing ideal risk management systems to help HMC Polymers ward off unexpected incidents.
At HMC Polymers, our custom is to constantly come up with ways to develop process innovations, mainly to grow product efficiency in parallel with greater process safety. Besides, we strive to mitigate environmental impact and lower resource consumption.
Our crucial duty: Health and Safety measures
Convinced that employees’ good health is at the heart of business and efficient operations, HMC Polymers strives to keep the workforce safe through safe workplaces and support to healthy well-being at large.
To this end, we have received cooperation from employees in matters like coping with change, management of challenges of aged labour, coping with long-term disability, stress management, and work-life balance.
Process Safety Management (PSM)
Our PSM is the heart of excellence of production and operations particularly dealing with the storage of hazardous materials in specialised locations, including pipes, tanks, and storage, to keep people as well as the environment safe.
PSM starts from project design and formulation, together with operation throughout the service life, to ensure safe operations while bolstering confidence with sound operation principles. We have also applied the approach of transformation in process safety (PS), focusing on employees’ treatment of such processes and principles.
HMC Polymers is committed to fulfilling its pledge to continuously improve workplace safety performance. Senior management has set targets for Total Recordable Cases (TRC) since production began in 1987 to raise safety awareness among employees. With a strong commitment to creating a safe working environment and implementing safety behavior plans and incident reporting, the company has been recognized by its major shareholder, LyondellBasell, for consistently achieving safety goals, reaching 10 million work hours with zero TRC as of May 12, 2019.
In addition, the company has adopted the “Incident Free Inspiration (IFi)” initiative, which embodies the vision of creating a workplace where “no one gets hurt, anywhere, anytime.” Safety management is enforced at every level, covering HMC Polymers employees, contractors, and partners, as all stakeholders are integral to maintaining safe operations.
All employees and contractors are encouraged to report violations or potential risks related to company rules and policies, in line with the procedures and requirements outlined in our Code of Conduct.
