At Ocean Century, operational excellence begins with a fundamental commitment: every employee must return home safely. In manufacturing, true efficiency and quality are only possible within a secure and predictable environment. Safety is not an add-on; it’s the bedrock of our daily operations.

Here, we share the core principles and actionable protocols that form our integrated safety management system.

We believe safety starts with awareness. Our approach goes beyond rules, fostering a shared responsibility where every team member is an active participant in hazard identification and prevention.

Learning from Experience: We regularly review internal and industry safety data. Analyzing real incidents—their root causes and preventative measures—forms a critical part of our training, turning past lessons into future safeguards.

Proactive Identification: We empower and require all employees to report potential hazards, from equipment concerns to workflow risks, ensuring issues are addressed before an incident can occur.

Clear, consistent rules are essential. The following protocols are mandatory for all personnel and contractors within our facilities:

Equipment & Machine Safety: Strict lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures are enforced for maintenance. Access to hazardous zones is controlled and permitted only for authorized, trained personnel.

Mandatory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Site-specific PPE, including safety glasses, protective footwear, and cut-resistant gloves, is required and consistently monitored.

Material Handling: All lifting equipment and slings are regularly inspected; damaged gear is immediately quarantined. Forklift operations are restricted to certified drivers, with strict rules against speeding, overloading, or riding passengers.

Controlled High-Risk Work: Tasks like hot work require formal permits, dedicated spotters, and continuous monitoring to ensure conditions remain safe.

Chemical & Electrical Management: Chemicals are stored according to compatibility, with clear labeling and accessible SDS. Electrical installations and temporary wiring must meet stringent standards to prevent fire and shock risks.

Worksite Housekeeping: We maintain clear aisles, designated storage areas, and prompt spill cleanup. An organized workspace is a safer workspace.

We adapt our safety plans to address specific environmental challenges, such as winter conditions:

Slip & Fall Prevention: We promptly address spills and moisture. Anti-slip coatings, mats, and clear signage are deployed in high-traffic and transition areas.

Facility Readiness: Stair treads and outdoor walkways are maintained for maximum traction. We implement proactive snow and ice removal procedures.

Personal Responsibility: Employees are guided to wear appropriate footwear for conditions and exercise increased caution during inclement weather, both on and off the clock.

For our partners, our rigorous safety culture translates into tangible benefits: a stable, focused workforce, minimized operational disruptions, and the assurance that their products are made in a responsible, ethical environment.

Our commitment extends from the production floor to the global community we serve. By protecting our people, we protect our promise to deliver quality reliably.
