A PROACTIVE APPROACH
Our strong record of protecting employees, customers, and communities from accidents is no accident. It’s the result of establishing meticulous safety protocols at each stage of our operations over the past six decades. Because the repetitive nature of warehouse work lends itself to safety and injury risks, we take special care to address potential issues before they become actual incidents.
Beyond strict adherence to all national and industry-specific regulations, we have an exhaustive regimen in place to ensure safety across all operations:
Regular Safety Meetings
Our commitment to safety starts at the ground level with daily LEAN Meetings. During these morning sessions, team members keep each other vigilant by sharing recent observations and safety reminders. Supervisors delve deeper during dedicated safety meetings, setting aside time for continuous training based on timely needs or planned conversations. Finally, our commitment extends across all locations through Safety Committee Meetings. Here, management and supervisors exchange best practices, review near-misses for improvement, and ensure our high safety standards are consistently met.
Performance Audits and Walkthroughs
We have several procedures in place to gather data and assess individual performance across various safety categories including general awareness, job execution, equipment, and housekeeping. We also regularly review Near Miss Reports–physical cards submitted by employees whenever an observation of risk occurs. Additionally, our partnership with Risk Consultants of America allows us to proactively confirm we’re meeting industry standards by conducting mock OSHA safety audits, and prepare for new business opportunities by conducting safety analyses.
Client‑Specific Reports
Clients who operate in highly regulated industries often receive revised best practices in response to global safety incidents, which we closely monitor and review. Additionally, we immerse ourselves in client policies and present quarterly safety reports summarizing any safety incidents and subsequent updates related to their product.
