CMC utilizes a comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) that contains our policies, safety action plans, global incident management system and data dashboards. The SMS includes standard operating procedures for every operational
role at CMC developed with direct input from employees and stakeholders. CMC’s Proactive Safety Program empowers everyone to report all incidents, call out potential safety issues and follow a reported issue through to resolution. Every facility holds mandatory monthly safety inspections and monthly safety meetings are held to review incident reports and to conduct regular health and safety drills.
All CMC employees receive mandatory safety training based on their role and we periodically conduct Safety Perception Surveys to identify any discrepancies between employee and manager perspectives. New employees are assigned mentors and wear reflective stickers on their hard hats so that coworkers know who may need additional safety guidance.
We strive to improve employee safety through innovative technology including new training methods using virtual reality headsets and incorporating automation in our manufacturing processes such as robots for physically-demanding and higherrisk operations. At our Tensar Division, we have added new safety training to ensure employee safety extends to construction site visits, where our products are used.
Safety Improvement at Tensar Morrow Facility
Tensar’s manufacturing facility in Morrow, Georgia, implemented several safety initiatives in 2024, which helped the facility achieve no recordable injuries for the year.
These initiatives included the launch of a Proactive Safety Measures (PSM) program, fall protection training and inspections, aerial platform training, and monthly inspections of PPE, flammable cabinets and compressed gases. The facility also identified and labeled confined spaces and added guardrails at key locations to reduce risks of injury.
