Colonial Pipeline Terminals Again Recognized for Safety Performance
International Liquid Terminals Association honors Colonial operations with two safety awards
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (May 30, 2023) – Colonial Pipeline Terminals was recognized for the second year in a row for exemplary safety performance by the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA). Colonial received the ILTA’s 2023 Platinum Safety Award for its dedication to safety culture, including management commitment, employee participation, safety training, hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.
During the association’s recent conference in Houston, Colonial also won its second consecutive Safety Excellence Award for high scores in the industry’s leading safety indicators as well as safety data from the previous year.
“Every day, in everything we do, it’s our goal to lead the industry and provide energy solutions to our customers in a safe, reliable, and responsible manner,” said Zach Hauser, Senior Manager for Terminal Operations at Colonial. “Our highest priority is ensuring that operations are safe for employees, our contractor partners, our neighbors, and the environment. These awards are a testament to our safety culture and our Zero is Possible approach to preventing incidents.”
Colonial won its first Platinum Safety Award in its third full year of terminal operations and as the business continues to grow its service footprint, safety is integrated throughout its facilities in Charlotte, Chattanooga, and Fredericksburg, Va. Colonial broke ground on a new terminal facility in Austell, Ga., in 2022 and recently celebrated its upcoming commissioning. Additional, reliable, direct access to fuel strengthens national security while enabling more businesses to succeed and attract additional investment.
