Citgo Petroleum Corporation and MIPC LLC have captured ILTA’s coveted Platinum Safety Award, the association announced June 25. The two companies separately won a Five-Year Safety Milestone Award for sustained excellence in terminal safety performance.

“Safety is the terminal industry’s top priority,” said ILTA Chairman Kip Middendorf, who also serves as vice president and managing director of Wolf Lake Terminals. “That’s why it’s so important to celebrate the impressive safety accomplishments of Citgo and MIPC—and all of our winners—and encourage all terminal operators to strive for continuous safety improvement. ILTA’s safety program not only allows us to measure our industry’s performance, but also share success stories and learn from each other.”

Citgo and MIPC’s platinum safety awards are for 2019 safety performance and will be awarded—along with other safety awards—in November at ILTA’s 40th Annual Operating Conference and Trade Show in Houston. For its 2019 performance, Citgo won the large company Platinum Safety Award, while MIPC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pennsylvania-based Monroe Energy, captured the small company Platinum Safety Award. To qualify for the award, companies must achieve an average total recordable incident rate of 0.5 or less per 100 employees and submit a description of their company safety programs for review by an evaluation panel of their peers.

ILTA will announce all the Safety Excellence Award winners in the next monthly newsletter.
