The chemical industry is the safest in the world, and DuPont is one of the safest companies in the industry. At Parlin, safety and health stand among our core values. We take a preventive approach that combines safe practices, safety audit procedures, detailed process safety analyses and reviews, training in and proper use of personal protective equipment, and programs that reinforce safety awareness. Highly trained, safe, and healthy workers reduce plant accidents, which also protects the community.
We are proud to have received the Governor's Safety Award for Continued Excellence, recognizing eight years without a lost work case injury. We believe that all injuries, occupational illnesses, and incidents are preventable. We always strive for "zero," and we are getting closer every day.
DuPont's culture is predicated on safe practices and is based in the following principles:
Corporate commitment and leadership skills
Safe behaviors
Observant, concerned operations management
Genuine caring and accountability among employees
Complete, timely communication
The Parlin plant and the entire DuPont Company place a high importance on environmental stewardship and meeting or exceeding public expectations. We invest millions of dollars in advanced environmental facilities that help us treat, clean, recycle, and dispose of spent materials.
Protecting our employees and the environment is the responsibility of the entire team of Parlin employees. It is an integral part of how we do business. DuPont Parlin partners closely with several regulatory and community entities to protect the health and safety of the neighboring public. Our dedicated employees stand ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide emergency support in any situation that may arise.
As a member of the highly regulated chemical industry, Parlin is subject to extensive regulatory supervision by local and state environmental agencies and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The plant measures thousands of environmental metrics each year to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations governing plant operations. All operations are monitored to ensure protection of the environment.
