MFG Chemical Wins Four Performance Improvement Awards
MFG Chemical has won four awards for plant safety and performance improvement from the chemical industry association SOCMA (Society of Chemical Manufacturers Association). MFG’s Kimberly Park plant won the Silver Award for EHS&S Planning & Operations. The plant completed a major improvement project to facility process equipment, piping, and equipment safety systems that substantially improved process controls and automation; redundancy in process cooling water; mitigation of risk from runaway reaction through the assessment and re-design of reactor relief systems; and improvements to process safety information for easier operator access and understanding.
The Kimberly Park plant also won a Performance Improvement Award for Stakeholder Communications based on its installation of a new KPI (Key Performance Indicator) communication board, which shows current incident rates, event descriptions, safety observation results, training/compliance activity calendar, safety equipment information and tips, pre-shift safety moments, and safe work topics.
