Environmental Performance.
Early in 2000 the site obtained certification to ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. Our site has provided practical support to an adjacent nature reserve.
Safety.
Our site operates to the highest standards of modern design with safety and environmental protection being given a high priority. Over the last two years our site has achieved it’s lowest ever total recordable injury rates and in 2006 site employees and contractors worked for the entire year injury-free. In 2009, our site was recognised by the UK Chemical Industries Association (CIA) with its Diamond Award for our consistently high level of safety performance demonstrated over the past decade.
