At Safety Rail Company, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s baked into every bracket, bolt, and business decision. Our commitment to environmental responsibility shows up in the way we power our facilities, source materials, and streamline our processes. Here’s how we keep safety and sustainability in harmony and locked step. We think being “The Safest” means taking care of more than just people…it means taking care of the planet.
We operate 100% on sustainable (solar & wind) energy and LED lighting, cutting emissions while supporting rural power economies. Our clean-burning electric arc foundries leave the dirty fuels behind, and we even provide EV chargers for our team.
Every bolt, bracket, and beam is sourced domestically to cut down on emissions and keep our supply chain lean and local. Working with local partners is not only good for a more predictable supply chain, it reduces our impact on the environment.
Recycling is second nature around here. From paper and plastic in the office to aluminum and steel scrap on the floor, everything gets a second life. Our raw materials are verified for recycled content, every time.
Look out our window and you’ll see Lake Minnetonka, it’s just one the reason we replaced phosphate-based pretreatments in our wash systems with safer, zirconium-based alternatives. It’s hard to eliminate chemicals, but you can make better choices.
Our powder-coating process ditches the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), delivering a durable finish that’s friendly to lungs and landscapes alike
By definition, the word sustainable describes behavior or process that can be maintained and supported continuously over time. We never stop tuning our processes. From power usage to HVAC to how we move products, we’re constantly tracking, tweaking, and trimming our footprint. Better today, even better tomorrow.
