At Cortland International, safety is more than a priority, it is a core value that guides every decision we make. It is embedded in our culture, our processes, and our commitment to protecting our employees, customers, contractors, and communities around the world. From the first planning meeting to the final product shipment, safety is the standard by which we operate.

We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe, healthy workplace by:

• Setting ambitious annual safety objectives and measuring our performance through clear accountability across every facility.
• Proactively identifying, assessing, and eliminating hazards through risk-based processes, global best practices, and local expertise.
• Providing ongoing training and resources to ensure every employee has the knowledge, skills, and confidence to work safely.
• Maintaining robust health and safety management systems that go beyond regulatory compliance to drive operational excellence.
• Investigating incidents and near misses with transparency and a focus on continuous improvement, sharing lessons learned across our global organization.
• Empowering every employee with the authority to speak up, raise concerns, pause work, or stop any task they believe is unsafe—without fear of retaliation.

Safety is an investment in our people, our products, and the trust our customers place in us. By fostering a culture where everyone is responsible for safety, we protect what matters most, deliver reliable solutions, and build lasting partnerships founded on confidence and integrity.
