Terminal Island, CA –

SA Recycling, a world leader in the metal recycling and processing industry, announced today that it has completed its 365th day without an injury or accident at their Port of Long Beach facility.  With over 163,000 man-hours of work completed in the past 365 days the facility is one of the safest in the industry. 

 Over the past 365 day the Long Beach Facility has loaded 16 vessels with a total of 662,000 MT of recycled metal.  Their processing operations at SA Long Beach include shear, torching, railroad car, container, and large bulk vessel loading.  Departments at the facility include Logistics and Transportation, Scale Masters, Maintenance, and Industrial Operations. 

“I am so proud of the SA team that made this huge achievement possible.  We hold daily, weekly, and monthly safety meetings, stressing everyone’s responsibility to work safely.  It’s safety first or it’s not worth doing it,” says Moises Figueroa, SA Recycling’s General Manager in charge of their two port facilities.
