Bio Huma Netics obtiene el certificado de Responsible Ag

Las plantas de producción de fertilizantes de Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN), fabricante de los productos de protección y nutrición de cultivos Huma Gro® y Fertilgold® Organics, han obtenido el certificado de Responsible Ag.

Responsible Ag es el único programa de la nación que proporciona una evaluación integral voluntaria del cumplimiento de las normas federales por parte de los fabricantes de fertilizantes. El certificado exige que la planta cumpla con criterios basados en normas exigentes, implemente medidas de seguridad líderes de la industria y demuestre que la seguridad de la planta es la mayor prioridad de la empresa.

La organización de certificación Responsible Ag fue fundada en 2014 para promover el bienestar público al ayudar a las agroempresas a cumplir con las normas federales de seguridad, salud y medioambiente en lo que respecta a la manipulación y almacenamiento de fertilizantes. La participación en el programa garantiza a los miembros de la comunidad, empleados y equipos de respuesta ante emergencias que las agroempresas participantes trabajan de manera responsable.

El Presidente y Director Ejecutivo (CEO) de BHN, Lyndon Smith, comentó: “Obtener el certificado de Responsible Ag demuestra a nuestra comunidad y a nuestros clientes que, como fabricantes de fertilizantes, somos extremadamente responsables y seguros. Estamos sumamente orgullosos de nuestros procesos de producción y adoptamos todas las medidas disponibles para demostrar que nuestros productos son uniformes, de alta calidad y se fabrican de manera segura y responsable”. Frank Pidgeon, Director Sénior de Control de Calidad/EHSS, señaló: “La auditoría de Responsible Ag fue sumamente exhaustiva y constituyó un excelente mecanismo para garantizar que cumplimos plenamente con todos los requisitos normativos federales sobre manipulación y seguridad aplicables a fábricas de fertilizantes. Es magnífico que podamos ofrecerle a nuestros empleados y a nuestra comunidad este certificado emitido por un tercero como prueba objetiva de que la seguridad es la mayor prioridad para BHN y de que ponemos en práctica a diario nuestro compromiso con la seguridad”.

Bio Huma Netics Achieves Responsible Ag Certification


Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN), the maker of Huma Gro® and Fertilgold® Organics crop nutrition and protection products, has achieved Responsible Ag certification for its fertilizer manufacturing facilities.

Responsible Ag is the only program in the nation that provides a voluntary comprehensive assessment of a fertilizer manufacturer’s compliance with federal regulations. Certification requires that a facility meet stringent regulatory-based criteria, implement industry-leading safety and security measures, and demonstrate that facility safety is the company’s highest priority.

The Responsible Ag certifying organization was founded in 2014 to promote the public welfare by assisting agribusinesses to comply with federal environmental, health, safety, and security rules regarding the safe handling and storage of fertilizer products. Participation in the program assures community members, employees, and emergency responders that participating agribusinesses are acting responsibly.

BHN President and CEO Lyndon Smith said, “Achieving Responsible Ag certification demonstrates to our community and our customers that we are a very safe and responsible fertilizer manufacturer. We take great pride in our production processes, and we take every step available to demonstrate that our products are consistent, of high quality, and are safely and responsibly produced.” Frank Pidgeon, BHN Senior Director of EHSS/Quality Control, said, “The Responsible Ag audit was very thorough and was an excellent mechanism for ensuring that we were in full compliance with all federal fertilizer manufacturing safety and handling regulatory requirements. It’s great that we can offer this third-party certification to our employees and to our community as objective evidence that safety is BHN’s highest priority and that we put our safety commitment into daily action.”
