Workplace Safety


The American Chemistry Council (ACC) is committed to helping our members enhance the safety and protection of our employees, neighbors and communities. Our members invest more than $3 billion each year to enhance safety at their facilities. Today, our member companies’ worker safety record is four times better than the average of the U.S. manufacturing sector and have reduced process safety incidents by 46% over the past decade.

ACC helps member companies go above and beyond safety regulations through the Responsible Care® initiative. Responsible Care is the chemistry industry’s global voluntary initiative under which companies work to continuously improve their health, safety and environmental performance and to communicate with stakeholders about their performance, processes and products.
