HOUSTON (July 7, 2026) – BWC Terminals (BWC) today announced that it has been awarded a 2026 International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) Safety Excellence Award. This is BWC’s third consecutive year being recognized by ILTA.
BWC’s Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) policy is essential for the sustainability of its operations. The company has established comprehensive systems, policies, and procedures to manage both routine and emergency situations, effectively addressing risks, threats, and incidents. Safety is a fundamental part of the company culture, reinforced by continuous employee training that promotes principles aimed at achieving industry-leading safety results.
“Receiving the ILTA Safety Excellence Award for a third consecutive year speaks to the consistency of our people, not a single moment of achievement,” said Adam Smith, president and CEO, BWC Terminals. “Sustaining this level of performance year after year requires discipline at every terminal and from every employee. Our team treats safety as a shared responsibility, and this recognition belongs to each of them. We will keep raising our own bar to ensure everyone goes home safe, every day.”
Founded in 1974, the ILTA represents more than 85 companies operating liquid terminals in all 50 states and in over 40 countries. ILTA members’ facilities provide critical links between all modes of transportation for liquid commodities, such as crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals, renewable fuels, fertilizer, vegetable oils and other food-grade materials that are central to the U.S. economy.
To receive the 2026 ILTA Safety Excellence Award, companies were required to score in the top two quartiles for both the 20-question self-assessment survey on leading indicators and the lagging indicator survey based on OSHA Form 300A.
