Safety first. Excellence always.
We drive continuous improvement every day
Safety doesn’t stand still. Since 2023, we have invested $34 million in safety and compliance, and that is just the beginning. Continuous improvement is part of who we are, driving us to protect our people and set higher standards every day.
Safety is our mindset
From top to bottom, we’re dedicated to creating a safe workplace. We engineer safety into every stage of the chemical lifecycle and empower every Thatcher employee to create a safe environment.
This includes ongoing safety meetings, continuous trainings, and extensive safety programs that we extend to our customers to ensure products are safely stored, handled, and disposed of. It also includes a “good catch” program, where employees are empowered to report potential safety concerns before they become issues, and daily safety messages to ensure our practices are engrained in our work culture. Safety is who we are because our people and our customers are what matter most.
The proof is in the performance
