Safety Committee
Our safety committee consists of the safety office, hourly workers, supervisors and an office manager. They meet quarterly to develop safe work practices, promote employee interest in safety, review accident reports/investigations and implement corrective action as needed, and more. Our team of professionals conduct and participate in specific safety programs and ensure safety certifications are up-to-date.
Job Hazard Analysis
The safety department experts perform onsite visits where they perform job hazard analysis (JHA) to identify any safety risks before they occur. Once hazards are identified, our team will work with the client to reduce and eliminate the risk. With worker and job site safety being an ever changing topic, customers can be certain that any of our experts they work with have received cutting-edge training, are up-to-date on their certifications and can provide safety training to others as needed.
