“Safety is a core value of the terminal industry,” said ILTA Chairman Kip Middendorf, who also serves as vice president and managing director of Wolf Lake Terminals. “ILTA’s safety program not only allows us to measure our industry’s performance but also share success stories and learn from each other. I congratulate all the winners.” 

ILTA’s safety awards, presented every year since 2007, recognize terminal operating member companies for outstanding safety performance. Each year, two companies – one large and one small – receive the highest honor, the Platinum Safety Award. These companies must achieve an average total recordable incident rate of 0.5 or less per 100 employees and submit a description of their company safety programs for review by an evaluation panel of their peers. In June, ILTA announced that CITGO Petroleum Corporation and MIPC LLC had captured the coveted Platinum Safety Award. The two companies separately won a Five-Year Safety Milestone Award for sustained excellence in terminal safety performance. 

The 22 companies receiving the Safety Excellence Award each achieved a total recordable incident rate per 100 employees of 0.75 or less during 2019.
