It's not important, its crucial!
Without the proper safety precautions, our facility cannot exist. We take great pride in our steps to ensure everyone is safe, including our neighbors.
Steps to Safety
Prevention
Alarm tests are conducted weekly on Tuesdays to ensure they function. Unless you hear persistent alarms, it's just us keeping our commitment to everyone's safety.
Detection
In the event of a possible incident or disruption of operations, short pattern horn blasts are issued. Normally, this is being handled by facility staff and no action is required.
Notification
When the public needs to be notified of an incident, ReadyKern is available for reverse 911 calling. If you're enrolled, you'll receive voice, text, and email alerts for emergencies that occur in your area.
Our Commitment
The Central Valley Renewable Fuels Facility has an excellent safety record — including a period in which the facility employees had not experienced a single OSHA record-able injury in more than five years. While our goal and plan is to prevent accidents, we believe that providing the community with important safety information, helping them understand warning signs and describing actions they can take offers an additional layer of protection and security. When it comes to community safety, our focus is Prevention, Early Detection and Notification.
