Achieving Safety Excellence: Covia's TRIR Progress and Initiatives
At Covia, safety is more than a priority—it is a core value deeply embedded in every aspect of our operations. From our plants to our offices, we are committed to protecting the well-being of our team members, customers, partners, and communities. Our comprehensive Safety and Health Management System provides the foundation for this commitment. It encompasses a wide range of safety programs, training initiatives, contractor safety protocols, and more. Additionally, we track performance, manage risk, and promote continuous improvement through clear safety targets—like the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), which measures MSHA-reportable incidents per 200,000 hours. As of June 2025, Covia's Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) approached world-class standards. Although there is always more work to be done, we are proud of this achievement and the key initiatives that made it possible: These initiatives are only as effective as the people who implement them. It is through the diligence, commitment, and continued support of our plant teams that we are able to strengthen site safety and improve our TRIR performance. At Covia, safety is not just a goal—it's a shared responsibility and a way of life. Visit 3BL Media to see more multimedia and stories from Covia

Direct Relief and FedEx Respond to Texas Flooding With Critical Medical Aid
When severe flooding struck Texas, homes were destroyed, roads were impassable, and access to medical care became critical. In response, Direct Relief quickly mobilized to support healthcare providers and first responders on the front lines of the crisis. Among the most urgent needs were emergency medical backpacks, packed with life-saving medications, medical tools, and essential supplies. These backpacks were requested to support ongoing search and rescue efforts and connect people facing flood effects with needed healthcare and services in the hardest-hit areas. However, with infrastructure severely disrupted, getting these supplies to where they were needed most was a challenge. That's where FedEx stepped in. Through their in-kind shipping support, FedEx ensured the timely delivery of six emergency medical backpacks to Texas. They also funded the backpacks, making it possible for Direct Relief to provide this vital assistance. These backpacks will supply healthcare workers and first responders with the necessary tools to care for flood survivors, helping them provide immediate relief in an already overwhelming situation. The collaboration between Direct Relief and FedEx highlights the importance of swift and reliable support in times of crisis, ensuring life-saving resources reach communities in need. This effort underscores how organizations can come together to make a tangible difference when disaster strikes. With FedEx's logistics expertise and Direct Relief's response efforts, communities in Texas are receiving the support they need to recover and rebuild.
