For the fifth consecutive year, APM Terminals Pier 400 Los Angeles was named winner of both the Category A Southern California Area Container Terminal Safety Award, and the Coast Award for the safest terminal on the Pacific Coast by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).
The awards were announced at the PMA’s 63rd Annual West Coast Safety Southern California Area Award event, held on March 1st in Los Angeles.

For the fifth consecutive year, APM Terminals Pier 400 Los Angeles was named winner of both the Category A Southern California Area Container Terminal Safety Award, and the Coast Award for the safest terminal on the Pacific Coast by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).
The awards were announced at the PMA’s 63rd Annual West Coast Safety Southern California Area Award event, held on March 1st in Los Angeles.
On February 29th the PMA held its State of Washington Area Safety Awards, naming APM Terminals Tacoma winner of the Washington area’s Category C Container Terminal Safety Award and the Coast Award for Category C for the safest terminal on the Pacific Coast. APM Terminals Tacoma also won the award for the “Greatest reduction in injury rates for the Washington Area”, irrespective of terminal size.
“We are very proud to have received these safety awards. The safety of staff and others who visit our facilities is APM Terminals’ highest priority. It is gratifying that the hard work of our men and women in ensuring the safe operation of our terminals is recognized by our peers in the industry.” said APM Terminals President of the Americas Region, Eric Sisco.
The PMA awards, based on reported injury rates per man-hours worked, are divided by geographic area and by size. Awards are presented for the Southern California ports, and for the Washington and Oregon ports. Facilities are separated into three categories according to size; Container Terminal Category A are those terminals totaling more than one million man hours worked per year, Category B is for terminals with more than 500 thousand, but less than 1 million man hours worked, and Category C are those terminal operators with less than 500,000 thousand man hours worked per year. Local area awards are presented in each of the terminal categories based on injury rates, and the Coast awards are given in each terminal category for the best safety performance on the entire West Coast.
APM Terminals Pier 400 Los Angeles, the largest container terminal in the United States, handled 1.91 million TEUs in 2011. The Lost-Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) rate at Pier 400 decreased by 22% to 6.01 per million man-hours worked for the year from 2010. On an average day, there are approximately 2,000 longshore workers and others at Pier 400, including 5,300 trucks per day, and 17 doublestack trains per week.
APM Terminals Tacoma, which handled 264,397 TEUs in 2011, improved its LTIF rate by 64% to 8.39 per million man-hours worked for the year.
In January, APM Terminals was presented with The Gerald H. Halpin Safety Excellence Award for 2010-2011 by the Signal Mutual Indemnity Association for safety achievement in its US operations. APM Terminals Pacific, Ltd., which performs stevedoring services at APM Terminals Pier 400 and APM Terminals Tacoma, was also given the Signal Mutual Industry Leader Safety Award for the most improvement of safety performance in terms of declining reported incidents for the past three consecutive years

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
