Health, Safety & Environment

Safety First. Always.

At The Port of Virginia, safety is more than a priority— it is a core value. Every decision, every operation, and every person on our terminals is guided by one unwavering principle: zero injuries. We believe that everyone who works in our terminals and facilities deserves to go home safely, every day.

We are on a mission to be the safest port in North America, and that starts with empowering every individual – employees, contractors, partners, and visitors – to take ownership of their safety and the safety of those around them. Then enabling them to do so by training them on what it means to collectively own safety, and providing a supportive management team by developing and embedding a learning corporate culture at our terminals and facilities.

Our Commitment to Safety Excellence

We believe a safe workplace is the foundation of operational excellence. That’s why we’ve built our safety culture around five key commitments:

Empowering Safety Champions

Our people and port partners are our greatest safety asset. We challenge our terminal teams to be safety champions by speaking up and reporting any unresolved safety issues directly to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer through our Health, Safety & Environmental Team. Your voice matters and it drives change. If you observe unsafe behavior, or see an unsafe condition, call 757-440-7070 to report.
