Tube City IMS has a full time Safety Department whose goal is to reduce accidents, injuries, and incidents to zero-tolerance. This goal is designed to protect our employees, as well as the steel mill we service. An active management Safety Committee is on-site with well-documented meetings. Each site holds daily (Monday-Friday) 20 minute safety sessions, as well as our monthly meetings. All OSHA and company training is completed by trained safety professionals for a pro-active approach.
 
We strive to continue to maintain a zero incident rate through various meetings and incentives. Our Safety Program is designed to meet or exceed all applicable OSHA requirements for employee safety including.

• Industrial Hygiene Monitoring
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Lockout/Tagout
• Hazardous Communications
• Employee Training
• Record Keeping
• Managing safety pro-actively, including joint management/employee safety committees that meet monthly at all sites to help identify, assess and intervene in accident causation.
