BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hydrite, an integrated
manufacturer and supplier of industrial chemicals and related
services, is pleased to announce that it has been named a 2023
Wisconsin Safety Council Corporate Safety Award Winner for
Excellence in Safety and Health.
Hydrite's 30th Annual Corporate Safety Award win is due to the
leadership team's decision in 2020 to challenge the status quo and
reimagine safety as a core value – a Hydrite building block –
creating a strong foundation for the way their teammates live and
work. More specifically, they introduced their safety vision,
mission, and values into an existing, robust safety program with
the intent to reinvigorate and drive a One Hydrite safety culture
across the organization. Hydrite also transitioned from lagging
safety indicators to leading indicators, which focused on
identifying the language, actions, and behaviors of their employees
and teams.
Since implementing these changes, Hydrite's Wisconsin operations have delivered
year-over-year Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) improvement
with a 2023 TRIR of .754, the lowest since 1994 and 60% lower than
the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent chemical manufacturing
incidence rate of 1.9 (2022). This includes reducing recordable
incidents by >50% - a statistic that reflects their value-based
approach to safety. Specifically, Hydrite's Waterloo, IA, location has achieved one year
without an OSHA recordable and the Cottage Grove and La
Crosse locations have achieved two years without an OSHA
recordable.
Executive Director of Safety and Environmental Compliance,
Ryan Griffin commented, "Hydrite is
very proud of this accomplishment and this award validates the
commitment and effort of the Hydrite team and motivates us to work
harder to continue to improve."
Hydrite has developed a reputation within the industry for
providing a distinct combination of excellence in chemical
manufacturing and distribution with the most comprehensive level of
technical expertise available. To learn more, visit www.hydrite.com
