Committed to Safety and Health

Our safety goal is always zero incidents. But Goal Zero is more than a number. We place great value on training and education, both at our own facilities and at customers locations. We assess risk before we start work, identify and address safety issues and remedy hazardous situations – at any Ecolab location and wherever we operate. We continue to train and engage our associates to work safely 100% of the time.?

In 2019, We Continued Our Commitment to Safety Excellence

On the Road
We reduced our total vehicle accident rate by 13% and our severe vehicle accident rate by 42%, per million miles driven.?

Through Training

Training plays a big role in our efforts to reduce accidents and injuries. Our programs include:

• Leadership training: Safety leadership training helps managers understand how to increase the safety culture within their teams. 100% of managers and employees engaged in improving safety performance took a half-day course.
• Training for new hires: Every Ecolab division provides basic safety training to newly hired sales and service personnel.

In Our Culture

• Employee engagement is crucial to creating and maintaining a culture of safety.?
• 85% of Ecolab employees were found to be ‘highly engaged’ around safety in our most recent global engagement survey.?
