Health & safety
Prioritizing people. Building resilience. Driving progress.
People are the heartbeat of our entire organization. That's why Our Vision and Values put the health and safety of all employees, and the communities they represent, first.
We drive our stewardship vision at every level to make sure that all employees are empowered to adapt to ever-changing conditions, build controls that prevent serious incidents, and contain and recover when accidents do happen.
Ownership of our actions and taking responsibility for the outcomes is a key principle at Koch.
Functional management systems used to sustain knowledge, that are validated by our people and grounded in reality.
All employees are empowered to use their unique knowledge and talents to solve problems and create value.
Core values and sound judgment — not just rigid rules — guide actions that protect people and resources.
Safety is our first priority at all of our operations. In order to be in business for the long term, we have to produce products and services in a reliable manner. That means fostering our culture where safety is top of mind.
Flint Hills Resources has earned the Minnesota Safety Council’s highest safety award, the Award of Honor, for three consecutive years.
INVISTA and Koch Fertilizer both received this honor, the highest safety award given by the Association of American Railroads for safe shipping practices. Combined, our companies have received 54 awards for safely transporting products by rail.
Koch companies have nearly 90 sites that are Star Certified in federal or state Voluntary Protection Programs for continued Outstanding Safety Performance.
This National Safety Council honor was awarded to 27 Flint Hills Resources facilities. It recognizes at least 12 consecutive months without an occupational injury or illness resulting in days away from work.
