EHS&S

Environmental, Health, Safety & Security (EHS&S)

Environmental, Health, Safety & Security is a critical component of all Florida Chemical operations, as well as a required component of our suppliers, carriers, and customers to assure that the environment and the communities where we operate as well as the personnel that are employed protected from potential impacts of chemical materials.

As a part of our commitment to EHS&S, the ownership and senior management of Florida Chemical takes an active roll in creation of policies, specifications, and procedures, management of change when updates are needed, regular review of incidents and resulting corrective and preventative actions, as well as review of the overall effectiveness of the EHS&S programs, activities, training, and actions to assure that the performance results are meeting established goals.

Employees and stakeholders of Florida Chemical are engaged on a daily basis in the EHS&S process through inclusion in the Site Safety Committee, site security activities, transportation security activities, PPE programs, and injury and illness prevention programs.

Florida Chemical is also a verified member of the Responsible Distribution program, which is a third party audited EHS&S program that is required as a condition of membership with the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD).
