A Culture Built on Safety
At LoCI Controls, safety is more than a policy — it’s the foundation of how we operate. From comprehensive training programs to evolving and cutting-edge initiatives, we continuously strive to protect our team, customers, and the environment. Our workplace — the landfill — can be inherently dangerous, so we take a dynamic and proactive approach to safety. The LoCI team stays on top of emerging industry and safety trends, reinforcing core competencies to keep everyone safe, both on and off the landfill.
A Stellar Safety Record
As of today, we can proudly report a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0%, alongside an impressive 2,908 days worked without a lost-time incident. These milestones speak to the strength of our safety culture and the dedication of our team to uphold the highest safety standards. This record isn’t just about numbers — it’s about lives protected, incidents prevented, and trust built with our employees and customers.
A Focus on Continuous Improvement
Safety at LoCI isn’t static; we look forward, with training and safety initiatives that continuously evolve to meet new challenges and opportunities. In 2024, we introduced enhanced safety initiatives that included advanced defensive driving courses and specialized training for working in especially hazardous areas on landfills. These programs empower our team with the skills and knowledge to proactively mitigate risks and ensure safe operations in even the most demanding and variable environments.
Looking ahead, our team continues to build on this foundation year after year. LoCI’s 2025 safety strategy will include new quarterly trainings, alongside the renewal of existing programs.
A Holistic Approach to Safety
Our approach to safety goes beyond basic compliance. It encompasses a wide range of priorities, including identifying and managing:
- Risks associated with hazardous locations
- Potential ignition sources and fire hazards
- Workplace incidents such as slips, trips, and falls
- Environmental and operational hazards
We partner with global leaders in safety education to ensure that all training reflects the latest industry standards and best practices. These programs focus not only on what to do in an emergency, but also on preventing accidents before they occur.
The heart of our safety program lies in fostering a culture of vigilance and accountability. Every team member, from field representatives to company leadership, plays a role in creating and maintaining a safe working environment. We emphasize open communication, continuous learning, and the importance of staying proactive.
Leading the Way in Safety Excellence
As LoCI continues to innovate and grow in 2025 and beyond, we are dedicated to remaining an industry leader in safety. By always investing in our people and prioritizing a culture of safety, we aim to set the standard for operational excellence in the waste industry.
