Fostering a safe work environment is everyone's responsibility at Sherwin-Williams.
Safe and Responsible Operations
We aspire to achieve zero injuries, zero incidents and zero nonconformances – what we call our Vision of Zero. Sherwin-Williams promotes shared responsibility and collaboration across our operations for environmental, health and safety (EHS) initiatives. Our Global EHS Policy is the cornerstone of this goal, and our global EHS Management System (EHSMS) guides implementation. This system serves to give our sites a common roadmap for best practices and articulates the processes in place to maintain a safe and healthy environment. The EHSMS helps ensure we all work from the same playbook, abide by the same standards and improve workplaces in the same way. Every Sherwin-Williams employee undergoes safety training that is designed for their respective role and responsibilities. This includes learning to identify and address hazards and making use of technologies and processes that help promote safety. Effective processes and active employee involvement and empowerment are critical to ensuring safety. We promote safety awareness Company-wide, maintain ongoing communication and continually seek new ways to engage our team.
