We are committed to helping the government save lives during everyday operations and emergencies by preventing and responding to dangerous situations.
DuPont has an incident level 11 times better than the industry average, in addition to one of the best workplace safety records of any company. We are bringing this knowledge to the government through safety services, including consulting and training in workplace safety, contractor safety, asset and capital effectiveness, ergonomics and emergency response.
We have helped to reduce injuries at three Army posts in a pilot program with the Department of Defense, and we have assisted the U.S. Mint and the AOC (Architect of the Capitol) with their workplace safety efforts. We continue to work with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and at major municipal transit authorities in LA, NYC, and Chicago.
Since 1985, more than 83,000 people in more than 860 cities in 20 countries have received DuPont Emergency Response Training. Trainees have included firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, medical personnel, industrial responders, and members of 10 United States Government agencies.
