Our industries, like many others, are governed by multiple federal, state and local laws and regulations that continue to increase in number and complexity. One way we ensure compliance is an ongoing system of monitoring at all our locations, as well as those of selected customers.

Frequent inspections at aggregates and chemical operations help verify that safety, health and environmental control systems function properly.

Annual safety audits at chemical operations have been held since 1979, and in 1992 we combined them with environmental audits. Each year, audits address different activities, topics and issues. In many cases audits are instituted to ensure compliance with newly enacted regulations or findings. Audit exceptions thus vary considerably year to year and do not necessarily indicate any decreased attention on the part of Vulcan to these issues. We will continue to make safety, health and environmental protection a priority at every Vulcan facility.
