Committed to Safety.
A CULTURE OF SAFETY
Nothing is more important to Rice Companies than the safety of everyone. Our goal is simple – zero harm and zero lost time incidents. With that philosophy, we incorporate safety into everything we do, from pre-planning projects, ongoing training, to continuous improvement. We also have a Safety Committee to ensure employees have a voice in safety.
STEP SAFETY TOOL
Our Safety Committee utilizes the STEP tool to benchmark our current processes against the best-in-class safety programs across the industry. STEP guides us on our path to continuous improvement for our processes, day-to-day tasks, and most importantly our culture. Safety is part of who we are at Rice Companies – it has become part of our DNA.
