ColdPort Achieves Historic Zero-Incident Safety Year Across All North American Facilities

DALLAS, TX – May 22, 2026 – ColdPort, a leading provider of temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics solutions, today announced a landmark achievement in its operational history: a full calendar year without a single recordable safety incident across its entire network of North American facilities. This unprecedented milestone underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to workplace safety, operational excellence, and the well-being of its employees.

The zero-incident record spans over 5 million combined working hours across 14 state-of-the-art cold storage facilities, involving thousands of team members, complex machinery, and rigorous temperature-controlled environments. Achieving this milestone in an industry where hazards are inherently elevated—due to extreme temperatures, heavy machinery, and high-volume operations—sets a new benchmark for safety in the cold chain sector.

"Safety is not just a metric for us; it is the fundamental core of our operational philosophy," said David Simpkins, Founder & CEO of ColdPort. "Reaching a full year without a recordable incident is a monumental achievement that speaks directly to the dedication, vigilance, and professionalism of every single person on the ColdPort team. When we set out to build this company, we made a promise that every employee would return home safely at the end of their shift. Today, we celebrate not just a statistic, but the fulfillment of that promise day in and day out."

The milestone is the result of a comprehensive, multi-year safety initiative dubbed "ColdPort Cares," which integrated advanced safety technologies with rigorous behavioral training programs. Key components of this initiative included the deployment of AI-driven collision avoidance systems on all material handling equipment, real-time environmental monitoring to prevent temperature-related stress, and the establishment of an employee-led safety committee that empowers frontline workers to identify and mitigate potential hazards before they escalate.

"We have invested heavily in both technology and culture to create an environment where safety is proactively managed rather than reactively addressed," Simpkins continued. "Our people are our most valuable asset, and their well-being is the foundation upon which our operational success is built. This achievement proves that when you give a dedicated team the right tools, training, and support, extraordinary outcomes are possible."

In recognition of this achievement, ColdPort will be implementing an enhanced profit-sharing bonus for all operational staff and is pledging a $500,000 donation to regional workplace safety advocacy groups. The company will also host a series of safety symposiums later this year to share its best practices and methodologies with other operators in the supply chain and logistics sectors.

Looking ahead, ColdPort remains committed to continuous improvement. The company is already piloting next-generation wearable safety technology and advanced predictive analytics to further refine its safety protocols, ensuring that the zero-incident year is not just a singular milestone, but the new standard operating procedure.
