Operations

Our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Professionals have teamed with Caterpillar leadership to drive tremendous improvement and heightened awareness of the importance of EHS across our enterprise.

As we embed the Cat Production System in our organization, we are driving standard work in all areas of environment, health and safety across our company - in every facility, for every product line, throughout every service area. We continually encourage all of Team Caterpillar to challenge waste, eliminate inefficiencies, and work to deepen their understanding of our true impact on the world in which we live.

Workplace Safety

In 2003, Caterpillar defined its vision for safety - we believe all accidents and injuries are preventable; therefore, our ultimate goal is zero. Since 2003, our Total Recordable Injury rate has improved by more than 80%.
