This is what our values look like at work!
Two weeks ago I stood in front of the Steel Manufacturers Association Safety Committee in Houston and talked about what we're building at JSW USA. This week, the number came in for JSW's Baytown facility: 1,000,000 man-hours without a lost workday injury. This achievement took tremendous effort and a commitment to our vision of providing the safest workplace for our teammates. This took Darrell Harden having the hard conversation with someone who cut a corner. It required Christie Perrett, Leticia Garcia, Javier Balderas, Mark Marquez, Ron Arreola, and Dawn Covington showing up every shift knowing the standard doesn't move. And it required every single operator on that floor making the same choice, every single day. They understood the vision, followed the processes, and bought into the insight the safety team built the program around. That is what our values look like when they are working. A million hours is 2,000 shifts and this team showed up to 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 of them. Steel manufacturing is not a forgiving environment. The work is physical, the equipment is uncompromising, and the margin for error is small. What this team has built took patience, discipline, and genuine care for the people on that floor. These are the husbands, mothers, sons, and daughters of our community. #BetterEveryDay (Pictured from l - r: Baytown's Ron Arreola, Darrel Hardin, Letita Garcia, Vinay Sharma, Mark Marquez, Christie Perrett.)

Zero is the only acceptable number in steel. Last week, the SMA recognized 28 facilities that hit it. No lost-time injuries. Not a single one. JSW Steel USA CEO Robert Simon was proud to present these awards alongside the SMA Safety Committee. The companies on this list didn't get lucky. They made decisions every day that made this possible. That's what operational discipline looks like from the outside. #ZeroHarm #SteelSafety #AmericanManufacturing #BetterEveryDay
Meeting last week in Houston alongside the SMA Human Resources Committee, the SMA Safety Committee recognized 28 steelmaking facilities that had no lost-time injuries in 2025. The award recipients came from seven companies: CMC, Gerdau North America, Ivaco Rolling Mills, Nucor Corporation, SSAB, Steel Dynamics, Inc, and Vallourec - North America. SMA Vice Chairman at Large Robert Simon (CEO of JSW Steel USA) and SMA Safety Committee Chairman Timothy Smith (Gerdau North America) presented the awards to company representatives. The reception was sponsored by SMA associate member Danieli Group. The awards acknowledge the remarkable safety achievements made by American steelmakers and underscore their commitment to keeping everyone safe at work.

The night before we welcomed the Steel Manufacturers Association to our Baytown mill, our CEO Robert Simon stood in front of the Safety and Human Resources leaders in Houston and said something that is not easy to say, a hard truth to take ownership of: “Every injury is a leadership decision.” It is not bad luck, not one person’s poor choice; a decision was made somewhere upstream in the culture, in what leadership tolerates, walks past, and normalizes in a push to make tons. The next morning, the SMA came to Baytown and we handed them QR codes to access our concern reports and asked everyone to take record of what they see when they walk the floor. The good and the bad. What may have become normalized for us, we opened the door to fresh eyes and gave the loudspeaker to call it out. We gave everyone access to our entire process: from the slab yard to watching slab turn into finished plate, which then transformed in our pipe mill into LSAW pipe. At JSW USA, safety lives on the floor in every aspect of our mill. It is in every standard we hold without exception. Rob said it best: “Safety is the price of admission at JSW Steel USA.” We gave them a ticket. We are not saying we have solved it. We are saying we know the direction we are going and how serious we are about getting there and are open to collaboration. Thank you to SMA for visiting us and allowing us to work harder to become #BetterEveryDay #SafetyLeadership #SteelIndustry #DomesticSteel

Our CEO addressed the Steel Manufacturers Association Safety Committee last night in Houston. His message: every injury is a leadership decision. Safety at JSW Steel USA is not a program. It is the standard we hold ourselves to at Baytown and Mingo Junction, every shift, every day. Today the SMA group visits Baytown to see it firsthand. Talk is easy. Come see the mill. https://lnkd.in/gtmeFSec
Every injury is a leadership decision. Last night I had the pleasure of addressing the Steel Manufacturers Association Safety Committee Reception and Safety Recognition Awards in Houston. My message was perhaps uncomfortable to some. I understand. It was uncomfortable to me until I understood it and stood firm behind it. It's easier to call an injury bad luck, or one person making a poor choice, or just one of those things that happens in a dangerous business. If you work in steel long enough, you're going to hear about someone getting hurt. And when it happens, the instinct is to reconstruct what that worker did wrong. What procedure they skipped. What shortcut they took. Ask the harder question: Why did they think the safe way was optional that day? Who saw it and said nothing? What did we build that made that moment possible? That environment comes from leadership, from what we tolerate, what we walk past, and what we normalize in a push to make tons. Safety is the price of admission at JSW Steel USA. That is our standard. We are still incurring accidents. I'm not standing here saying we've solved it. But I know the direction we're going, and I know how serious we are about getting there. Today, a group from the SMA conference comes to Baytown to see what that standard looks like on the floor. Talk is easy. Come see the mill. #BetterEveryDay #SafetyLeadership #SteelIndustry #Manufacturing #SafetyCulture #SupplyChain

"Safety is the price of admission." That's the standard for JSW. On Friday, JSW Steel USA's Baytown facility celebrated Safety Day. From vendor booths to great food and fun giveaways, the day brought our team together around one shared goal: making sure everyone goes home safe, every single day. Safety is a commitment in action. Building a strong safety culture isn't just about policies. It's about participation. We are proud to recognize this quarter's safety award winners, whose commitment to keeping our workplace safe is an inspiration to us all. Thank you to everyone who participated, contributed, and continues to make safety the foundation of everything we do, in every task, every shift, and every decision. #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture #EmployeeEngagement

$6.8 billion in False Claims Act settlements last year. A lot of it tied to domestic content on federal construction. Our CEO Rob Simon wrote down what bridge fabricators have been asking him directly. #BetterEveryDay #BuyAmerica #BridgeFabrication #DomesticSteel #BABA
The False Claims Act hit $6.8 billion in settlements last year. Record high. A lot of that activity touched domestic content requirements on federal construction work. Bridge fabricators have been asking us directly what the plate market looks like right now, so I wrote it down. Team JSW will be in Atlanta for NASCC. Come find us. #BridgeFabrication #BuyAmerica #DomesticSteel #BetterEveryDay

Scan the QR code to book time before the floor fills up. #BetterEveryDay #NASCC26 #domesticsteel #BuyAmerica #BridgeFabrication Cory Raimondi Abhishek Goyal Adam Schneider Evan Bryson
