It is a milestone that reflects the Cargill joint venture’s long term focus on creating awareness and maintaining diligence about safe practices and behaviours, the company said.
Troy Anderson, vice president of operations, Horizon Milling, said: “Creating and maintaining a safe work environment is one of our core values at Horizon Milling. For us to be successful, safety must be a shared mindset of all of our employees. The team in Stockton is proving that reaching a goal of zero lost-time incidents is not only possible, but sustainable.”
Horizon Milling’s behaviour-based approach to safety includes ongoing training, focused safety observations and peer-to-peer feedback to reinforce safe behaviour and eliminate barriers to a safe work environment. In Stockton, local managers credit employees for continuously striving to improve workplace safety for one another, customers and other onsite visitors.
Rich Rostomily, Horizon Milling facility manager in Stockton, said: “This milestone is a direct reflection of the commitment of our employees. It’s because of their dedication to creating a safe workplace that we’ve had zero lost-time incidents over the past two decades, and we will continue to work hard to maintain this level of safety performance for years to come.”
