At MEI, we take safety
very seriously; in fact, it is ingrained in our corporate
culture. Each new
employee receives orientation in safety, including a one-on-one
review of our safety manual, and is also trained in CPR and
First Aid.
All field personnel are issued personal protective
equipment. They are all OSHA 10-hour certified. We
train our employees in lockout and tagout procedures and
teach them how to identify/recognize potential safety hazards
and
what corrective action to take. When new tools and technologies
are introduced, we bring in experts to provide safety training
and certify our people in their use.
To insure safety on the
job, MEI holds weekly "Tool
Box Talks" on site to keep employees informed about
safety issues which are followed up by a manager's
written report to the office. In addition, the MEI safety
officer
makes
periodic, unannounced site visits to be sure procedures are
being followed. |
