Is Your Workplace Super?

Every summer there is new blockbuster movie released involving a superhero.The titular character races to save the day keeping the general population out of harms way, restoring peace throughout the land. Unfortunately, in real life and in our industrial workplaces, there is no Captain America or Spiderman or even a Transformer to swoop in and keep us safe.

Helping our customers to operate under the safest conditions is a core value of our company. We work hard to assess the unique risks of an industrial environment and create a safety management system that will help reduce that risk and allow you achieve the highest level of success. 

Celebrate Safely

We often talk about safety in the workplace but its important to remember, especially with the summer holidays upon us, to be safe at home as well. Celebrating Independence Day in the USA has become a great tradition amongst family and friends. Its a time for barbecue, swimming, and fireworks, and while all of these activities are fun, they present a certain amount of risk, requiring safe practices:

Safety: It takes all of us

Each June, the National Safety Council celebrates National Safety Month as a time to bring attention to key safety issues. This years theme, "Safety: It takes all of us," was inspired by the idea of continuous risk reduction – a key pillar in the Journey to Safety Excellence.  A successful safety program depends on spotting hazards early, evaluating their risk and removing or controlling them before harm is done.
