HIGHLIGHT Promoting a strong safety culture at Lake Charles, USA Our Lake Charles facility in Westlake (LA, USA), is a flagship example of Arxada’s H&S culture. The site produces hydrazine products for our Nutrition, Care and Environmental business segment and has been recognized for its outstanding H&S performance. Over the last 26 years, there has been no Lost Time Injury incident at the site and the previous OSHA recordable injury occurred in early 2011, demonstrating an exceptional safety record. This is especially important to us as hydrazine needs to be handled with care to avoid negative health consequences. The team at Lake Charles understands the importance of handling hydrazine carefully and fostering a safety culture of looking aer each other. Employees at the site regularly review and adapt their own and their colleagues’ work procedures to make processes safer. New hires at Lake Charles complete intensive training focused on H&S to ensure a good understanding of the safety procedures and risks associated with handling hydrazine and other materials.
