Remarkable Safety Improvements and Cultural
Change Driving Operational and Financial Transformation
Resco Products, Inc. (“Resco”), a leading provider of refractory
products, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the
Chairman’s Safety Award by The Refractories Institute (TRI). This
recognition highlights Resco’s outstanding commitment to workplace
safety, evidenced by the company’s significant improvement in
safety metrics over the past two years, including an impressive
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.34 for 2023, a decrease
of 90% from 2021.
The TRI Chairman’s Safety Award is one of the most prestigious
awards for the refractory industry and recognizes companies that
have demonstrated exceptional safety performance. The award is
based on a comprehensive assessment of safety incidents related to
the number of hours worked.
In 2022, Resco Products developed a comprehensive safety
enhancement program, which has resulted in substantial and
measurable improvements in safety performance as well as enhanced
productivity, reduced downtime, and a more engaged and motivated
workforce. This strategic initiative has been a cornerstone in
Resco’s cultural transformation, contributing significantly to the
company’s operational and financial success.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award from TRI,”
said Mark G. Essig, CEO of Resco. “This recognition is a testament
to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. Our commitment
to safety is unwavering, and it has been a driving force behind our
company’s successful transformation. By enhancing safety and
fostering a culture of excellence, we will continue to accelerate
our progress and drive growth.”
David Clark, Director of Environmental Health and Safety at
Resco, added, “Receiving this Safety Excellence Award and achieving
a TRIR of 0.34 are remarkable milestones for our organization. Our
comprehensive safety programs, continuous training, and open
communication have been critical in driving these results. We are
committed to continuing to deliver high-quality refractory products
while ensuring the highest standards of safety and environmental
