Employee Health and Safety

Employee Engagement

 

At Rogers, we actively promote a culture where our highest priority is to “live safely.” All of our employees, regardless of role, take part in safety initiatives in order to eliminate injuries. We believe that this level of employee involvement lowers injury rates and fosters a safer workplace and employee accountability.

 

Equipment Safety

Equipment safety is a high priority at Rogers Corporation. We utilize a structured approach to managing environmental, health and safety risks associated with new installations of processes and equipment. We require all Rogers Corporation manufacturing and R&D facilities to conduct Project EHS Reviews to ensure that all equipment and processes are reviewed for EHS risks. These reviews must be completed both before purchase or major modification and prior to installation or conversion to manufacturing or R&D.

 

EH&S Guiding Principles

The following set of principles guides all of our efforts to protect and improve employee safety and preserve our environment. We aim to:

• Meet or exceed applicable environmental, health and safety requirements and verify performance through periodic audits.
• Utilize our own environmental, health and safety standards that provide safeguards for the community, the workplace and the environment while also providing flexibility to meet the needs of our business.
• Promote a healthy and safe workplace, free of occupational injuries and illness. We do this by emphasizing individual responsibility for safety by all employees, with support at all levels of management.
• Communicate environmental, health and safety policies, programs and issues to Rogers’ employees and stakeholders.
• Install, manage, and operate our manufacturing processes to maximize workplace safety, conserve natural resources and protect the environment.
• Develop products that utilize raw materials and processes that minimize pollution throughout the product life cycle, from design and manufacture to customer use and end-of-life disposal.
• Ensure all employees are aware of their critical roles and responsibilities in fulfilling the objectives of Rogers’ Environmental, Health and Safety Policy.
• Motivate all employees to become personally engaged in health and safety activities.
