Safety Reigns Supreme at BORCO - Safety is the way of life at BORCO. Employees at BORCO were recently awarded for having worked one million hours without a “Lost Time Injury” since February 2011. This means that there were no injuries received while at work that were severe enough to require an employee miss a day or longer of work, which is phenomenal news for BORCO. So great in fact, that Khalid Muslih, SVP – President Global Marine Terminals Buckeye flew down to personally to help congratulate and award the staff at their in-house presentations.
