Vision
CP Kelco's Safety Vision
CP Kelco’s vision is to have zero work related injuries and accidents, which is also known as the “drive toward zero” or DTZ. CP Kelco’s framework to achieve excellence in safety is through:
- Commitment of Management to excellence in safety.
- Line Management Ownership of the safety agenda.
- Involvement of All Employees in safety activities complemented by training.
- Comprehensive Safety Practices which all employees are expected to follow.
- Safety Organization and Safety Specialists that work closely with line management to implement and manage the safety practices.
Mission
Believing that the health and safety of people is valued above all else and that all incidents and injuries are preventable, CP Kelco will enable sustainable business success by building a safety-oriented culture at all sites and offices and Drive Toward Zero (DTZ) harm to all employees, contractors and communities, through management commitment, employee involvement, effective measurement and continuous improvement.
Our Mission in Practice
CP Kelco’s Safety program is based on Five Fundamental General Beliefs:
- Health and safety as first priority and must be viewed as the most important business objective.
- All injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented. Safety can be managed and self-managed.
- Excellence in safety is compatible with excellence in other business parameters such as quality, productivity and profitability; they are mutually supportive. Safe, healthy employees have a positive impact on all operations. They have a positive effect on customers and enhance credibility in the marketplace and in the community.
- Like quality, safety must be made an integral part of every job. “Do it right the first time.”
- Good safety is “mainly in the head.” Most injuries and safety incidents occur mostly because of inattention, not because of lack of knowledge or for physical reasons. People take risks because they believe that they will not get hurt.
