Rates: number of injuries per 100 full-time employees (200,000 hrs).
D.A.R.T.: Days Away/Restricted or Transferred means any recordable injury resulting in lost or restricted work days
Lost Time: an injury at work that leads to unfitness for work and absence from the next scheduled work period
Do It Right means we make safety our top priority. It is a commitment that is embraced by the entire organization, from our manufacturing and distribution teams to our Board of Directors.
In 2017, we continued to deliver on this commitment. We improved on every safety metric we track. Our 12-month average recordable incident rate was 0.67 per 200,000 work hours at the end of the year, our lowest on record and well below industry averages. We also logged nearly 4.5 million hours consecutively without a lost time injury.
These results are outstanding in any year. They are even more impressive given the high level of activity in our system during 2017. We had record production and record sales volumes. We loaded 7 million product tons on marine transportation, while more than 50,000 rail cars and 240,000 trucks came through our facilities during the year.

Our Do It Right culture also demands that we protect the environment. Our operating priorities include strict environmental compliance and controls. Beyond state-of-the-art Environmental Management Systems, we invest in capital improvement projects aimed at improving energy efficiency and emissions reductions. We have made tremendous progress in recent years. From 2012-2016, we reduced CO2 equivalent emissions by more than 25 percent per product ton.
