OxyVinyls, LP - OSHA Star sites include:

  • Battleground Chlor-Alkali, Texas
  • Deer Park Chlor-Alkali, Texas
  • Deer Park VCM, Texas
  • Deer Park PVC, Texas
  • La Porte VCM, Texas
  • Pasadena PVC, Texas

OxyVinyls' strong safety programs contribute to ongoing recognition under the federal government’s prestigious Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). OSHA Star status is the highest U.S. government award for excellence in safety.

Nationwide, less than one-hundredth of one percent of approximately six million work sites have achieved OSHA Star status. OxyVinyls has succeeded in achieving Star status at six facilities.

To be eligible for the OSHA Star or a state equivalent, a work site must have comprehensive and successful safety and health programs. Additionally, the site must have both total reportable and lost work-day injury rates better than the industry’s national average. The process of attaining Star designation emphasizes the use of employee committees to ensure that the facility meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements. OxyVinyls' experience demonstrates that employee involvement sustains the high levels of safety performance, which is the primary goal of pursuing the OSHA Star designation.
