“People are our most valuable resource, which means we must be laser-focused on the health and safety of our employees, while at the same time being good stewards of the environment,” said CEO Brad Tolley. “I want to be sure every employee goes home safely after every shift, and that we achieve our goal of zero injuries across the board.”

“To ensure the health and safety of our employees, safety must become part of our culture.
