Safety, Health & Environment

Lucite International believes that excellence in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) performance in every aspect of its business is fundamental. The SHE Excellence program drives continuous improvement based on the belief that sustainable world-class performance is underpinned by world-class practices. Our goal is zero injuries, illnesses and incidents and minimising environmental impact that may be associated with the conduct of our business.

The Company regularly re-evaluates its progress and the program's success is demonstrated by the substantial benefits achieved through continued safety performance improvements. Current performance is amongst the very best when compared to companies of our type, and is more than ten times better than the European and US chemical industry average.

Health protection programs are in place at all Lucite International facilities and the workplace is constantly monitored to minimise exposure to potential hazards. In addition to health protection, positive health and wellness programs are in operation across the Company.

Mandatory SHE standards are fully documented within SHE Excellence and are regularly upgraded to match best in class. Emissions from processes have been substantially reduced and all sites operate rigorous leak prevention programs to progressively eliminate all unplanned losses of containment.

The Company takes its obligation to assess the environmental impact of the manufacture, use and disposal of new and existing products seriously. Here, inherent durabillity of acrylic means products tend to last longer, which helps to reduce waste associated with replacement. And products made from acrylic can be efficiently recycled and chemically de-polymerized back to the original raw material.
