Another example of U.S. Silica’s commitment to our Core Value of Community. Invasive species are very destructive for native plants and wildlife, and their removal helps restore an area’s natural biodiversity.
Happy to support U.S. Silica Company's - Ottawa facility in removing wild parsnip, an invasive plant species, from their perimeter areas. Over 200 plants were treated to mitigate their spread. Wild parsnip is a rapidly spreading invasive plant that may cause burns from contact with its oils and exposure to sunlight.

Absolutely incredible! Our Dubberly plant recently marked 40 YEARS without a lost time accident. In addition, the plant has also recorded 2,153 days without a reportable. What an excellent testimony to our Core Value of Safety. #sand #silica #industrialmaterials #advancedmaterials #fracsand

Safety is a prized Core Value at U.S. Silica, so we want to take a moment to recognize National Safety Month. Special thanks to the National Safety Council and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for their partnership on this critical initiative. #NSM #workplacesafety #silica #fracsand
Thanks to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for their partnership in the observance of National Safety Month. #NSM Together, NSC and NIOSH have created a blog that identifies research and prevention efforts from both organizations in this year’s focus areas of safety engagement, #RoadwaySafety, risk reduction and slips, trips and falls.

We are proud of the robust internship program we created this summer. We have five interns sitting at three of our sites, and they are working on a wide variety of projects for the company — everything from safety and engineering to HR and accounting. This week, we were excited to host the interns and several HR team members at our Pacific, Missouri plant. Mining operations have been conducted at this location since the early 1900s, and material from this plant was used to build the famous Route 66, which runs alongside the plant. #ussilica #industrialminerals #oilandgas #advancedmaterials #sand

Interns in the house! We can’t wait to see what fresh perspectives they bring to our corporate office and plant environments. And in turn, they will be mentored by our leadership and gain real life work experience. It’s a win-win all around. #interns #internship #ussilica #slcaproud #slcanews

We were happy to host National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) team members this week at our Berkeley Springs, W. VA plant. We are proud to be a member of an organization that is such a wonderful advocate for our industry. #ussilica #industrialminerals #oilandgas #advancedmaterials #sand #RocksBuildAmerica
Earlier this week, the NSSGA team took a field trip to visit U.S. Silica Company's Berkeley Springs, WV plant to learn more about the industrial sand industry. We got to learn about the facility's community relations efforts and history within the local town. We also saw first-hand their safety protocols, environmental practices and transportation methods. Thank you for the educational tour and for sharing your important role in the community and the nation’s economy! #RocksBuildAmerica
