Liberty Tire Recycling sites across North America proudly participated in the Recycled Materials Association's (ReMA) annual Safety Stand Down Week, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to workplace safety and employee well-being. During the week, teams dedicated time to safety training, hazard awareness discussions, and best practice reviews designed to strengthen our safety-first culture and help ensure every employee returns home safely each day.
Building a Stronger Safety Culture
Safety Stand Down Week provides an opportunity for employees and leaders to step away from daily operations and focus on workplace safety. Activities across Liberty's network included toolbox talks, facility-specific safety discussions, CEO-sponsored facility inspections involving managers and employees, and reviews of safe operating procedures.
These conversations encouraged employees to identify potential hazards, share observations, ask questions, and reinforce the systems which help create a safer work environment.
Building on Our Everyday Safety Practices
While Safety Stand Down Week provides an additional opportunity to focus on workplace safety, it complements the safety practices already embedded in our daily operations. Across Liberty Tire Recycling, safety remains a year-round commitment through:
- Regular Safety Stand Downs
- 5-Minute Safety Talks
- Near Miss Reporting
- Safety Work Orders
- Liberty Learning LMS Training Programs
- Ongoing Engineering Upgrades
- Standard Operating Procedures
- Employee Development Programs
Participating in ReMA's annual initiative allowed us to join industry peers in recognizing the importance of workplace safety while reinforcing the strong safety culture we work diligently to grow and strengthen every day.

Safety is a shared responsibility and a continuous journey. By participating in Safety Stand Down Week, Liberty Tire Recycling reaffirmed its commitment to continuous improvement across all facilities.
