  • CSI considers no phase of its business to be of greater importance than our team’s safety and health. CSI believes that every teammate should leave work as healthy as when they arrived – and our record proves our dedication. In recent years, we have typically had one of the lowest recordable injury rates in our industry. Since 1998, our injury frequency rates have fallen more than 80 percent.

  • Here at CSI, we're fortunate to be working in one of the most beautiful parts of the world – Southern California. We strive to keep the entire team dedicated to protecting our world and local community by educating all teammates on the rules of environmental compliance and by providing training to respond, if necessary, to any threat to our environment.

    CSI has been repeatedly recognized by environmental agencies for our efforts to protect our waters in accordance with strict state and federal EPA standards. In our expansion efforts, CSI is also installing the best environmental controls available in our industry, to protect the air that our CSI team and their families breathe.

  • CSI's success depends greatly on the skills and motivation of our workforce. We encourage our teammates to suggest and implement improvements in the safety, productivity, cost effectiveness and quality of the processes and products found at CSI -- largely by encouraging participation in our Thinking Group (TG) program!

    CSI's profit sharing program rewards our teammates for their efforts. A portion of operating income is shared equally among the entire team, and paid twice yearly. Our team of teammates understand how their contributions to the company affect the profitability of the company, and they are consistently identifying and solving problems to improve our results.

  • CSI is committed to our policy of fairness and respect for our team. We have consistently provided good working conditions, fair treatment, opportunities for advancement, and competitive wages and benefits for all who work here.

    We readily recognize that our growth is a direct result of all teammates' efforts and contribution. Everyone at CSI is treated as an individual and is respected as an important part of our CSI family.
