Safety is a core value and paramount to all we do. From our plants to our office locations, safety, health, and security remain a daily and consistent focus to ensure the well-being of our team members, customers, business partners, communities, and local environments.

Approach

Under the SHMS, we maintain policies and procedures that align with the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 standard which covers topics such as chemical and process safety, mine safety, rail safety, fall protection, burner/flame safety, and hazard assessment and control. We also have Covia’s Life-Saving Rules, as well as an Emergency Response Plan that informs our safety efforts.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly identify and integrate emerging standards into our SHMS to maintain a company-wide set of requirements, policies, and practices. We also continue to expand our actions in areas such as risk management, safety awareness training, and office safety.


Through our management systems, we: 

  • Track Safety Performance

  • Assess and Manage Risk

  • Ensure Proper Training

  • Reinforce Safety 

  • Embrace Change

  • Set Partner Expectations

  • Support Product Safety
