Health and Safety at IPEX
Employees are our most valuable asset at IPEX – and protecting their health and safety is paramount. Our commitment to excellence means we operate our sites with accountability, reliability and integrity and strive for a goal of zero workplace-related injuries.
Across our sites, IPEX is committed to:
