"Over the years, DuPont has taken the history of progress regarding safety and health as its own. When advertising for the XVIIth World Congress on Safety and Health at Work, the company called itself one of the safest companies in the world claiming, "DuPont's focus includes finding solutions to protect people, property, operations and the environment." And it states on its heritage website: "From the beginning DuPont has set an example for the chemical industry in waste reduction, pollution control and environmental conservation."
The company also touts a goal of zero work-related accidents. Unfortunately, despite all the slogans, DuPont's history is not commendable. Instead of practicing openness and ethics, DuPont entrenches itself and resists taking responsibility for current and past trespasses, which continues to put citizens, the environment, and most of all, workers at risk.
DuPont's safety program blames the worker for on-the-job hazards and its goal of zero accidents encourages a system of non-reporting. DuPont talks the talk but in reality does not walk the walk. It continues to be one of the dirtiest and most dangerous companies in the United States, and maybe soon, in the world."
