Safety Is Everyone's Responsibility
The Dupont STOP™ safety program teaches workplace safety auditing skills for observing people while they work, reinforcing safe work practices and correcting unsafe acts and conditions. The STOP™ program provides a path to workplace safety excellence by making safe behavior and workplace conditions part of the work culture, and maximizing the potential for significant safety improvement. It is the most popular and successful self-implemented workplace safety training in the global market today.
PCC-AFT employees are trained in the STOP™ program, empowering them to assist with the overall safety initiatives of each of the three PCC-AFT facilities.
