A recent company-wide Stand Down for Safety brought together employees and contractors from every level, every department and across the world with a single goal: Do better.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The stand down was prompted by various factors, including more than two dozen potentially fatal events during the past year, the tragic death of a contractor at a remediation site in October and a general upward trend in fatalities industrywide.<\/p>\n
With every discussion about safety incidents, it became clear to leaders that the best way to move forward was simply to stop \u2014 stop and listen.<\/p>\n
From North America to Indonesia and everywhere in between, employees from across the company moved swiftly to make the global stand down a reality, making sure to reach all employees and contract workers. The goal was to have meaningful conversations about current safety performance, reinforce the focus on hazard recognition and remind employees of the company\u2019s safety commitment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have a business at Freeport unless we keep our people safe,\u201d President and Chief Executive Officer Kathleen Quirk said at the recent Health and Safety Summit in Phoenix. \u201cWe owe it to the people who come to work every single day to have a safe atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stand down wasn\u2019t just an opportunity to discuss hazards and safety with employees. It was also an opportunity for employees to provide valuable insight and feedback to company leadership. Some of the key takeaways shared from across Freeport operations included:<\/p>\n
For many employees, this was the first company-wide stand down in their careers. While it had a big impact, one thing was clear \u2013 safety conversations can\u2019t wait for corporate-wide events like the stand down. The need to be happening every day, with every crew. Only through continuous engagement will Freeport be able to achieve continuous improvement.<\/p>\n
