On January 17, 2004 the Taminco Gent plant reached a period of 1 year without occupational accidents, meaning 514.770 working hours of safe labour.

The sustained focus on health, safety and environment has shown its effect over the last ten years with an average frequency degree of 1,3.
This has been achieved with the co-operation of the total workforce, based on a multi-level safety approach.
Personal protective equipment, near-miss reporting, incident investigation and hazard analysis are the cornerstones of Taminco's zero accidents policy.
