SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES:

It is imperative that all employees recognize the importance of safety in the workplace, follow safety rules, practice safe work habits, utilize appropriate safety equipment, and report unsafe conditions to the appropriate administrator. Aligned with our company’s Core Values, safety is the foundation of what we do each and every day, on each and every job, as part of each and every task. As a provider of residential, commercial and industrial services, several of our positions pose a greater risk of injury. As such, certain positions have been designated as “safety sensitive”. This is a safety sensitive position, which means the employee’s job performance can affect the safety of the employee and others. Job performance under the influence of alcohol or drugs could lead to physical injury or death to the employee, other employees, or members of the public at large. Therefore, the employee must be able to perform the job responsibilities without causing a threat to co-workers, to the workplace, or to the public at large.
