When sourcing hazardous chemicals, price per gallon isn’t your biggest risk. Downtime, non-compliance, and catastrophic safety failures are.
The true cost of choosing the wrong supplier can be measured in injuries, lawsuits, environmental fallout, and damaged reputations. That’s why safety must be more than a line item on your procurement checklist — it must be baked into your supply chain.
Brainerd Chemical Company delivers more that products. They deliver peace of mind — the kind that comes from a deeply embedded culture of stewardship.
Safety isn’t a seasonal campaign at Brainerd. It’s a continuous operational priority, driven by leadership and lived out on the ground by teams across six production facilities. That mindset has real-world consequences — and measurable returns.
Take their Tulsa, Oklahoma site: 1,839 consecutive safe workdays and Zero OSHA recordables company-wide over the past year.
Brainerd Chemical Companies Scooba, Mississippi team just passed 1,262 safe workdays, and Danville, Illinois marked 757 days and counting.
Real Stewardship. Real Impact.
Every employee understands that safety is an operational performance metric. Ask the employees. Billy Joslin in Tuttle, Oklahoma, puts it plainly:
“In the 10 years I’ve worked here, I’ve watched safety evolve with support from leadership and across sites. We’re proactive — not reactive.”
Rodney Austin in Danville adds: “When we prioritize safety, we create trust, boost morale, and build a workplace where people can perform without fear.”
That’s not just good for employees. It’s good for your bottom line.
The ROI of Responsibility
Sourcing from a safety-first partner like Brainerd delivers quantifiable advantages:

Custom Service: From bulk contract purchasing to emergency response shipments, Brainerd adapts to your operational priorities.
What Safety-Driven Supply Feels Like
Reliable. Predictable. Secure. When a supplier truly understands what’s at stake — your uptime, your people, your reputation — they build systems to protect them all.
Brainerd Chemical doesn’t just check the boxes. They redefine what chemical stewardship should look like in today’s industrial landscape.
If you’re still sourcing based on cost alone, it’s time to rethink the equation. The true value is in a partner who makes safety non-negotiable.
