Safety is the bedrock of Armstrong, and it has been central to our culture since our inception. We believe that our philosophy around healthy spaces starts within our company, and we know that employee well-being – from a physical, mental and social perspective – is an important part of our commitment to our employees.
Our Approach to Safety Management
Our Safety Management System covers 100% of AWI employees and includes processes and procedures that support meeting our goal of zero workplace injuries. We track and review safety metrics internally, including among senior leadership, on a regular basis and comply with all regulatory reporting requirements. Operations management, including facility EHS Managers, ensure plant procedures and practices meet or exceed the requirements of the AWI Safety Management System.
Guided by our Safety Policy, the key tenets of our Safety Management System include:
Health and Safety Performance
OSHA Recordable Injuries
9%
reduction compared with a 2019 baseline
OSHA Recordable Fatalities
0
fatalities in 2022
OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate
28%
reduction compared with a 2019 baseline
Maintaining Our Employees’ Well-Being
We have a long history of placing safety at the core of our company culture and believe that our philosophy around healthy spaces starts within our company. There are a number of ways we help facilitate employee well-being. We offer workout facilities at some locations to help employees meet their physical fitness goals, including at our main campus in Lancaster, as well as our Marietta, Macon, Hilliard, Millwood and Arktura manufacturing facilities. In addition, we offer mental health support through our confidential Employee Assistance Program and, in 2022, began piloting on-site health screenings at our production facilities.
