FMC Green River receives coveted safety for a second time
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Diversified chemicals company FMC Corp on Wednesday said its Wyoming manufacturing facility had recently earned an award from the Industrial Minerals Association-North America (IMA-NA) for the best overall safety record for 2013, in the large company category, for the second year in a row.
Run in cooperation with the US Department of Labour’s Mine Safety and Health Administration, the safety recognition awards programme recognises the best reportable injury rate for an individual IMA-NA member company by size category from the previous year.
The Green River location worked 1.87-million hours with 12 injuries for an injury rate of 1.28 per 200 000 employee work-hours.
“We are so proud to be acknowledged for our continued efforts to improve safety at Green River. This is an achievement shared and earned by our entire team. And it is our team who embraces safety as a core value and the responsibility to keep on learning and bettering safety practices every day,” FMC Minerals Green River manufacturing director Fred von Ahrens said.
FMC has operated two production facilities in south-west Wyoming for many decades. Green River’s employees mine trona from ore deposits about 500 m underground and then process the mineral into natural soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, and caustic soda using innovative technologies.
Soda ash is used in all forms of glass, fibreglass, tableware, lighting fixtures and baking soda.
