Safety Training and Awareness

  • 403-3 Occupation health services
  • 403-6 Promotion of worker health

CMC provides mandatory safety training to all employees based on their specific role and we periodically conduct safety perception surveys to identify any discrepancies between employee and manager perspectives. We assign mentors to new employees, who also wear reflective stickers on their hard hats so coworkers can provide them with additional safety guidance. All employees, regardless of their roles or seniority, are expected to participate in at least one safety activity or training per month.

We refresh and update our safety trainings as needed to ensure they are up-to-date. We incorporate new methods and technologies to enhance our safety training programs, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality headsets. In 2025, we enhanced the following training programs:

  • In the U.S., our overhead crane training program was updated to include virtual reality elements and help create learning paths for overhead crane operators.
  • CMC Poland launched new rescue team training to educate and train employees assigned to rescue teams at our facilities, including training from paramedics and firefighters on the use of first aid equipment and rules for extinguishing fires. CMC Poland also implemented additional safety training for all production employees after their three-month trial periods, as well as a new safety training for new supervisors.

Robotics in CMC’s mills and fabrication facilities enhance worker safety and improve productivity.

CMC's No Touch Campaign

Hand and finger injuries account for about a third of CMC’s recordable injuries.

In 2025, we launched the No Touch campaign to raise awareness of these risks and highlight safety practices aimed at eliminating hand-related tasks and creating distance from hand hazards through the use of no touch tools. The campaign involved hosting workshops with employees to conduct an inventory of tools, followed by creating companywide standards for procedures and protocols. Posters and table tents with hand safety messages have been displayed at all facilities and new training modules for use of no touch tools are being developed for rollout in 2026.
