At the same time, our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS) segment benefited from our continued focus around charge-for-oil (CFO) services and a late-quarter surge in base oil pricing. Our safety performance was outstanding, with the team achieving the lowest quarterly Total Recordable Incident Rate in our history at 0.39.”
