Across our business, we strive to cultivate a safety culture which empowers and protects our people.
It’s every business’ responsibility to contribute to a safe, sustainable future. At Lam, we know we’re no exception.
We aim for the sustainable management of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns while ensuring compliance with applicable government standards and regulations. By aligning ourselves with these factors, our goal is to provide productive, responsible solutions across our business while ensuring the safety of our employees, communities, and the environment. Through comprehensive training and engagement, we foster a robust safety culture, mitigating risks by implementing strict safety protocols and controls.
Our commitments
Global Quality
Here’s how we hold ourselves accountable for delivering best-in-class product quality:
- View quality from our customer’s perspective
- Design quality into our products, services, and business processes with regular accountability reviews
- Respond with agility when non-conformances are discovered to eliminate the risk and prevent recurrence
- Continuously develop and improve skills, business processes, product quality, technology, service, delivery, and overall value
We strive to meet these objectives with rigor and integrity, through clearly documented quality objectives and robust management reviews.
Goal: Maintain an OSHA recordable injury rate at or below 0.4 annually.
We perform, safely
Whether they work at a lab, an office, or a manufacturing site, we want every employee at Lam to get home safely each day. Accordingly, we strive to implement strict safety protocols, use risk controls, and prioritize safety training. We’re proud that our recordable injury rate has remained below the industry average for more than five years.
Our global EHS Policy outlines our commitment to protect all Lam personnel and minimize risk by preventing employee illness and injury. The policy guides us to be accountable for our safety performance as it relates to our employees, our products, and the environment. The EHS policy applies to every employee everywhere Lam operates around the world.
EHS mission
We are relentless about keeping people safe, providing a healthy workplace, and minimizing our impact on the environment. Every day, everywhere we operate.
EHS vision
We create a mindset and culture of EHS excellence across our business. This helps us accelerate innovation, enabling our customers to shape the future.
Global EHS policy
Lam is committed to the sustainable management of EHS as a core business principle. Consistent with Lam’s Guiding Principles and Core Values, we integrate EHS considerations into all aspects of our business, including the products we design and services we provide. We seek to enhance productivity and responsibility by:
- complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and other standards to which we subscribe
- providing a safe, injury-free workplace and minimizing our environmental impact
- delivering value throughout the lifecycle of our products
- continually improving our EHS management systems, culture, and performance for our customers, company, and employees
Our executives and managers are measured and held accountable for the safety and environmental performance of the business. Every Lam employee has a responsibility to understand and support this commitment.
EHS governance and management
We govern our safety programs through a multi-tiered system that includes corporate governance, business-unit involvement, and site-level EHS leadership, in addition to other committees and reviews. Within this system, we monitor our safety performance at the enterprise, regional, and site levels, with responsibility and oversight from our CEO. Our EHS leadership team uses Lam’s global incident tracking system to assess and monitor safety trends with quarterly reviews at both business group and executive leadership levels. Lam’s Board of Directors also reviews the company’s recordable injury rate on a quarterly basis.
Our site and regional EHS teams use a layered approach to conduct annual safety risk assessments of their local operations. Similarly, our field teams use a Rapid Field Risk Assessment process to manage risks at our customers’ sites.
Safety training and engagement
To uphold our commitment to safety, we invest in prevention-based practices and education, including training, awareness programs, and emergency preparedness procedures. Our people managers in Field Support, Manufacturing, R&D, Warehouse Operations, and Logistics Operations all undergo formal safety leadership training to enhance their skills in safety management and communication. We emphasize practices aimed at proactively preventing ergonomic injuries, including through general health and safety training, job-specific training programs, and ergonomic assessments.
Our safety standards apply to all Lam employees and contractors. We screen our contract workers to assess their safety performance and require their compliance with the safety standards set forth in our Contractor Handbook.
