The firms teams have been providing multiple discipline services on the site for its client LyondellBasell for over 20 years.

This achievement of 11 years without a lost-time injury from our largest partner at the Carrington site is a truly remarkable achievement, particularly in light of the nature of work carried out. We will share this as an example of sustained Goal Zero operation to other LyondellBasell sites around the world.”

This impressive safety milestone reflects the dedication and commitment of our site teams, Altrad said.
