Safety

Winter Environmental has always placed the highest priority on the safety of our employees and subcontractors. Our policies and procedures are the same as those of Winter Construction and are to effect continuing improvement in worker safety and loss prevention. We believe that the highest levels of safety are achieved when safety awareness and compliance are ingrained in the behaviors of each and every employee, and we take strides to achieve this "culture of safety".

Our comprehensive safety program is managed by the company's Vice President of Risk Management, Tim Thomas, and is implemented by a staff of full-time inspectors and trainers. It encompasses extensive and regular training, inspections, incentives and swift, decisive corrective measures in all applicable areas of OSHA compliance. All superintendents, foremen and operators are required by company policy to be competent persons in every aspect of their work, including excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, hot work and confined space entry.

A well-entrenched culture of zero accidents at Winter Environmental has produced one of the best safety records in our industry, with an Experience Modification Rate of 0.79 and a Recordable Incident Rate of only 1.68.

Winter Environmental is a drug-free workplace.
