Our Performance
CMC uses a data driven approach to drive continuous improvement in our safety performance, in the same way we drive continuous improvement in our manufacturing processes. Our safety program focuses on a number of strategic pillars:
Eliminating serious injuries and fatalities (SIF) events – We focus on areas that are high-risk for SIF events, such as overhead cranes, arc flashes and persons on the floor in melt shops and rolling mills and areas with lock out/tag out procedures. We also incorporate automation and robotics in our manufacturing processes where possible for physically-demanding and higher-risk operations.
Achieving 10% annual reductions in recordable safety incidents – We concentrate on higher-risk areas such as hand and finger injuries and new employee safety. Our SMS captures data on safety incidents, including near miss reporting, and shares information throughout the organization to take preventative actions as needed. All employees across locations have avenues for reporting observed hazards and we use OSHA’s hierarchy of controls approach to workplace safety.
Coordinating global safety programs – We strive for consistency in our safety programs across all locations in the U.S., the EU, the UK and Asia by improving communication and sharing best practices. In 2025, we improved our companywide communication around safety incidents and hazards. When an incident occurs or a hazard is observed at any given site, all other facilities are informed via a shared digital bulletin.
Celebrating success in safety performance – We implement companywide programs that recognize facilities with excellent safety performance and individuals who have contributed to that success.
