About Afton Chemical Health, Safety, Security and Environment
Afton Chemical has a comprehensive health, safety, environmental protection and security (HSES) management system and performance improvement initiative. We effectively manage our operations and products and respond to stakeholder concerns.
We are members of the communities that we operate in. Working with community advisory panels (CAPs), and other public forums, we communicate with our neighbors and other interested members of the public about our operations and progress in the areas of HSES.
We are working toward the vision of no accidents, injuries or harm to the environment. We utilize a Management System to help guide responsible HSES performance; to achieve legal requirements in the areas of HSES; to meet our own targets and goals; and to address stakeholder concerns.
Afton Chemical reports a set of uniform, industry-wide metrics that measure individual company and industry performance. These metrics enable Afton Chemical to identify areas for continuous performance improvement, and provide a means for communicating to the public about HSES performance. The metrics address performance across a broad range of issues including health, safety, environment, security, product risk and economics.
