Keeping our employees safe is a core value at CMC and our overall goal is to have zero work related illnesses and injuries. As detailed in our Occupational Health and Safety Policy, our safety culture is fully integrated into our business and we hold everyone accountable for implementing our Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) procedures. Our policy applies to all CMC facilities globally and includes all employees, on-site contractors and visitors. All suppliers are expected to comply with the safety standards outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct and our specific requirements for OH&S requirements while operating on site.

At CMC, safety is our top concern. Our total recordable incident rates are among the lowest in the steel industry.

Our Commitment to Health & Safety

Building on our culture of safety at CMC, we are committed to:

  • Comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in the countries we operate in, including U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulations, with the goal of exceeding standards.
  • Implement OH&S procedures including job-specific training, Safety Perception Surveys, the Proactive Safety Program and our global incident management system
  • Reduce and eliminate risks through regular testing of OH&S procedures and emergency preparedness programs
  • Encourage active employee participation including protection of stop-work authority rights
  • Leverage data analytics to monitor OH&S performance and benchmark our results
  • Investigate all incidents and concerns to achieve continuous improvement in our OH&S programs

Our Performance

In the same way CMC strives for continuous improvement in our manufacturing operations, we focus on enhancing employee safety by using a data driven approach. Our safety program in 2024 focused on four strategic pillars:

Eliminating Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Events
Our goal is to never have SIFs by focusing on high-risk areas including overhead crane safety, arc flashes, having no persons on the floor in melt shops and rolling mills, and complying with lock out/tag out procedures.

Achieving Annual Improvement in Reducing Safety Incidents
Our goal is to reduce recordable incidents by 10% over the past year by focusing on higher-risk areas such as hand and finger injuries and new employee safety. The SMS captures data on safety incidents, including near miss reporting, and shares information throughout the organization to take preventative actions as needed.

Coordinating our Global Safety Programs
We are working to have consistency in our safety programs across our locations in the United States, Europe, the UK and China by improving communication and sharing best practices.

Celebrating Success
We are establishing companywide programs to recognize facilities with excellent safety performance and individuals who have contributed to that success.

In 2024:

31 CMC facilities received the CRSI Excellence in Safety Award for achieving zero recordable injuries

8 locations received the CRSI Safety Achievement Award for having an incident rate at least 50% lower than the industry average
