Safety
Tube City IMS has a
full time Safety Department whose goal
is to reduce accidents, injuries, and
incidents to zero-tolerance. This goal
is designed to protect our employees, as
well as the steel mill we service. An
active management Safety Committee is
on-site with well-documented meetings.
Each
site holds daily (Monday-Friday) 20 minute safety sessions, as well as our
monthly meetings. All OSHA and company training is completed by trained safety
professionals for a pro-active approach.
We strive to continue to maintain
a
zero incident rate through various meetings and incentives. Our Safety Program

safety including.
