Safety Excellence
The safety of CF Industries’ employees and those who live near our locations is our top priority. Safety is embedded into our culture and values, and we prioritize developing creative, innovative processes to further improve our ways of working. Conducting our business in a safe manner is a top responsibility for all CF Industries team members.
Safety at CF Industries starts with equipping our employees with the proper safety knowledge, tools, and procedures as well as building a culture that encourages employees to act with safety in mind every time they come to work. We hold all of our employees — from the corporate office to our manufacturing and distribution facilities – accountable for safely conducting business.
We train and certify compliance with the Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security Policy for all employees to further embed Do It Right into our everyday operations. The EHS training we provide employees touches on regulatory topics, safety practices and procedures, hazard awareness, emergency response, human factors, employee health, workplace violence prevention, equipment safety, and safety leadership.
