Safeguarding Employees: Covia's Health and Safety Initiatives
Covia, a leading industrial materials company, has implemented robust Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene programs to protect employee health. The company follows the NIOSH Hierarchy of Controls, which has helped lower its all-incidence rate since 2021. This five-step process includes eliminating hazards, substituting materials, using engineering controls, implementing administrative controls, and utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Additionally, Covia employs the MSHA SLAM risk management process, requiring plant and operations managers to conduct regular quality control assessments. In 2023, the company achieved its goal of five in-field SLAM evaluations per month per manager. These initiatives demonstrate Covia's commitment to safety, health, and security, which extends beyond its own organization.
Covia, un'azienda leader nel settore dei materiali industriali, ha implementato robusti programmi di Salute Occupazionale e Igiene Industriale per proteggere la salute dei dipendenti. L'azienda segue la Gerarchia dei Controlli NIOSH, che ha contribuito a ridurre il tasso di incidenza complessivo sin dal 2021. Questo processo in cinque fasi include l'eliminazione dei pericoli, la sostituzione dei materiali, l'uso di controlli ingegneristici, l'implementazione di controlli amministrativi e l'utilizzo di dispositivi di protezione individuale (DPI).
Inoltre, Covia adotta il processo di gestione dei rischi SLAM MSHA, che richiede ai responsabili di stabilimento e operazioni di condurre regolari valutazioni del controllo qualità. Nel 2023, l'azienda ha raggiunto il suo obiettivo di cinque valutazioni SLAM sul campo al mese per ogni manager. Queste iniziative dimostrano l'impegno di Covia per la sicurezza, la salute e la sicurezza, che si estende oltre la propria organizzazione.

Además, Covia emplea el proceso de gestión de riesgos SLAM de MSHA, que requiere que los gerentes de planta y operaciones realicen evaluaciones de control de calidad regularmente. En 2023, la empresa logró su objetivo de cinco evaluaciones SLAM en el campo por mes por gerente. Estas iniciativas demuestran el compromiso de Covia con la seguridad, la salud y la seguridad, que se extiende más allá de su propia organización.
코비아(Covia)는 산업 재료 분야의 선도적인 기업으로, 직원의 건강을 보호하기 위해 강력한 직업 건강 및 산업 위생 프로그램을 시행하고 있습니다. 회사는 NIOSH 안전 통제 계층 구조를 따르며, 이는 2021년 이후 전체 발생률을 낮추는 데 도움을 주었습니다. 이 5단계 프로세스는 위험 제거, 재료 대체, 공학적 통제 사용, 관리적 통제 시행 및 개인 보호 장비(PPE) 활용을 포함합니다.
또한, 코비아는 공장 및 운영 관리자가 정기적으로 품질 관리 평가를 수행하도록 요구하는 MSHA SLAM 위험 관리 프로세스를 사용하고 있습니다. 2023년에는 각 관리자가 월 5회의 SLAM 평가를 목표로 삼았습니다. 이러한 이니셔티브는 코비아가 안전, 건강 및 보안에 대한 헌신을 보여줍니다. 이는 자사 조직을 넘어 확장됩니다.
Covia, une entreprise leader dans les matériaux industriels, a mis en place des programmes de Santé au Travail et d'Hygiène Industrielle robustes pour protéger la santé des employés. L'entreprise suit la Hiérarchie des Contrôles NIOSH, qui a contribué à réduire son taux d'incidence total depuis 2021. Ce processus en cinq étapes comprend l'élimination des dangers, la substitution des matériaux, l'utilisation de dispositifs de contrôle technique, l'implémentation de contrôles administratifs et l'utilisation d'équipements de protection individuelle (EPI).
De plus, Covia emploie le processus de gestion des risques SLAM de MSHA, qui exige que les chefs d'usine et d'opérations réalisent régulièrement des évaluations de contrôle qualité. En 2023, l'entreprise a atteint son objectif de cinq évaluations SLAM sur le terrain par mois et par responsable. Ces initiatives démontrent l'engagement de Covia envers la sécurité, la santé et la sûreté, qui s'étend au-delà de sa propre organisation.

Das Unternehmen folgt der NIOSH-Hierarchie der Kontrollen, die dazu beigetragen hat, die Gesamtinzidenzrate seit 2021 zu senken. Dieser fünfschrittige Prozess umfasst die Beseitigung von Gefahren, die Substitution von Materialien, den Einsatz technischer Kontrollen, die Implementierung administrativer Kontrollen und die Nutzung persönlicher Schutzausrüstung (PSA).
Darüber hinaus nutzt Covia den MSHA SLAM-Risikomanagementprozess, der von den Betriebs- und Werkleitern verlangt, regelmäßige Qualitätskontrollen durchzuführen. Im Jahr 2023 hat das Unternehmen sein Ziel von fünf SLAM-Bewertungen vor Ort pro Monat und Manager erreicht. Diese Initiativen zeigen Covias Engagement für Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Schutz, das über die eigene Organisation hinausgeht.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 22, 2024 / Covia
Covia is diligent in protecting the health of its employees through robust Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene programs, many of which rely on established external frameworks. For example, Covia rigorously follows the Hierarchy of Controls developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to safeguard occupational health at all of its locations. Using the Hierarchy of Controls, Covia successfully lowered its all-incidence rate compared to the baseline established in 2021.
The Hierarchy of Controls provides a five-step process to help reduce the risk of harm to employees by:
Eliminating hazards when feasible;
Substituting the material to reduce hazards when possible;
Using engineering controls when hazards cannot be eliminated;
Implementing administrative or work practice controls in addition to or in lieu of engineering control; and
Relying on personal protective equipment (PPE) as a last line of defense.
Covia also uses the U.S. Department of Labor's MSHA SLAM (Stop, Look, Analyze, and Manage) risk management process, and continues to require plant and operations managers to perform regular quality control assessments of completed SLAM risk checklists. In 2023, Covia achieved its goal of having plant and operations managers conduct five in-field SLAM evaluations per month.
