Operational and Human Safety
Safety to the Core: Protecting Our People
We prioritize the safety and health of our employees, business partners, and communities. During onboarding, new employees learn about our principles and how to implement them in daily operations. We reinforce these principles through periodic training and routine safety meetings. Additionally, random behavior-based safety observations occur daily, ensuring continuous vigilance and a strong safety culture. Every employee has Stop Work Authority, which empowers them to halt any task they believe poses a safety risk. Work does not resume until the issue is addressed and remedied, reinforcing our commitment to proactive hazard prevention.
Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) - Target Zero
Target Zero is Superior’s multi-tiered approach to global HSEQ management that directly supports two Shared Core Values – Safety and Citizenship. Collectively, it establishes clear policies and procedures to guide safe operations, ensures compliance with company and client requirements, equips employees with the necessary tools and resources, reinforces leadership accountability, and defines a continuous improvement process that serves as the foundation for how we operate.
Emergency Response and Preparedness
Superior’s Emergency Response and Preparedness policy establishes location-specific requirements to ensure employees are prepared for emergencies. These requirements include:
- Each facility must assess potential risks and implement processes to ensure a safe and orderly response to foreseeable emergencies.
- Facilities must develop a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP) appropriate for their operation.
- Facilities with fewer than ten employees are encouraged to create written emergency response procedures.
- All employees must be trained on their roles and responsibilities to minimize impacts during emergencies.
Superior operates in an industry impacted by extreme weather events, climate risks, and related safety concerns. Our Major Incident Response Plan, which includes regional emergency preparedness and protocols, allows us to quickly adapt to protect operations. Our approach includes an Emergency Hotline to maintain communication during disruptions, regional emergency action plans tailored to specific locations, heat alert programs, and safety training to protect employee well-being.

Our second annual Sustainability Report summarizes our ongoing efforts to implement our sustainability plan, addressing topics that are material to our global business, stakeholders, and strategic priorities.
