Three Facilities Receive Certificates of Excellence from the American
Chemistry Council and the Responsible Care®
Program
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2015--
Cabot
Corporation (NYSE: CBT) announced that three of its U.S.
manufacturing facilities were recognized with “Certificates of
Excellence” by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) for their safety
achievements in 2014.
These awards were presented to Cabot’s inkjet colorants plant in
Haverhill, Mass.; fumed metal oxides plant in Midland, Mich.; and
activated carbon plant in Pryor, Okla. in recognition of each location’s
outstanding safety results throughout the past year. This is the highest
safety certificate awarded to individual facilities by the ACC and is
bestowed upon those that complete a year with no Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) recordable injuries or illnesses, which
result in days away from work, and no restricted workdays or job
transfers among both employees and contractors.
“Safety is our number one priority and our performance in this area is
world class. We are proud of the accomplishments of all of our
facilities and especially honored by the ACC’s recognition of our safety
performance at Haverhill, Midland and Pryor,” said Martin O’Neill,
senior vice president, Safety, Health and Environment. “This recognition
is a testament to the safety culture that our employees and leadership
teams promote on a daily basis. As we continue to improve our safety,
health and environmental performance, we will remain focused on
achieving our goal of zero recordable injuries and zero incidents at all
of our facilities globally.”

performance initiative. For nearly 25 years, Responsible Care has
