ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Colonial Pipeline Terminals was recognized for the second year in a row for exemplary safety performance by the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA). Colonial received the ILTA's 2023 Platinum Safety Award for its dedication to safety culture, including management commitment, employee participation, safety training, hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation.

During the association's recent conference in Houston, Colonial also won its second consecutive Safety Excellence Award for high scores in the industry's leading safety indicators as well as safety data from the previous year.

"Every day, in everything we do, it's our goal to lead the industry and provide energy solutions to our customers in a safe, reliable, and responsible manner," said Zach Hauser, Senior Manager for Terminal Operations at Colonial. "Our highest priority is ensuring that operations are safe for employees, our contractor partners, our neighbors, and the environment. These awards are a testament to our safety culture and our Zero is Possible approach to preventing incidents."
