ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY

The Christy Metals business management system requires that the manufacture and distribution of our products be accomplished through a continuous improvement process that is committed to protecting the environment and providing for the safety and health of employees, customers, visitors, and the general public.

This commitment to people and the environment is a value that cannot be compromised. No job we do or service we perform is so urgent that we cannot take the time to perform each aspect of the job safely and environmentally responsibly. The Christy Metals business management system commits each employee to comply with all applicable legal requirements, follow established procedures, prevent pollution, conserve energy, minimize waste, and promote recycling.

Executive management ensures the sustainability of this policy as part of its annual business planning and review process, and the line organization has functional ownership to drive employee involvement at all levels toward the achievement of documented, clearly defined, and measurable goals and objectives. This policy is shared with employees, the public, our vendors, and customers.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PRINCIPLES

The following environmental, health, and safety principles are ingrained into every aspect of our operations and our daily work.

Each employee is committed to being a proactive steward of the environment, working safely, and promoting the safe use of our products and equipment. The goal of our safety culture is the elimination of accidents, injuries, health impacts, and environmental harms at work and to encourage safety at home, not just as an objective but as the way we conduct daily business. Emissions from air, water, and earth are properly controlled for the protection of people and to prevent pollution from the environment.

We believe that incidents, injuries, and illnesses are preventable. To protect people and the environment, we utilize a disciplined environmental, health, and safety management system. We seek to identify the environmental aspects of our activities, products, and services to determine whether they can result in significant health, safety, or environmental impacts.

Management is responsible for integrating these environmental, health, and safety principles into daily work activities and diligently responding to employee, community, and customer concerns. The line organization has functional ownership and drives employee involvement at all levels.

Each employee is responsible for maintaining an awareness of work practices and preventing conditions that may result in an unsafe situation or harm the environment. It is the responsibility of each employee to promptly notify management of any hazardous or harmful condition. Procedural compliance and the use of safe work methods and practices are expected at all times.

We conduct business in compliance with applicable environmental, health, and safety laws, regulations, and Christy Metals standards.

We work to continually improve our environmental, health, and safety performance and consider the expectations of interested parties by incorporating environmental, health, and safety considerations and objectives into business plans and decisions, research and development, and product stewardship. Our culture drives continuous improvement by establishing measurable targets and goals.

We utilize measurements and accountabilities for monitoring and documenting performance towards goals, overseeing improvements, and maintaining the effectiveness of our environmental, health, and safety systems.

We identify and prepare for unexpected emergencies and do not become complacent about everyday risks and challenges.
