Vantage
personnel are thoroughly educated in the need for performing
work in a safe and healthy manner. The goal we set for
our employees and the policy implemented for our customers
is one of zero accident tolerance. We design our safety
and project plans with this standard in mind. Our high
emphasis on safety benefits our employees and customers
alike.
Vantage's
safety program includes project specific safety issues,
continuing OSHA compliance education, general health
and safety awareness, as well as, accident prevention
training. Before being assigned to a project, all employees
must successfully demonstrate a thorough understanding
of the safety and hazard issues of the project.
Every
new project includes a Safety Assessment to insure that
processes and procedures are evaluated and measured
from a safety perspective. As new issues are identified,
our safety team develops and implements procedures to
minimize the impact of these items.
In
short, safety is at the core of our work ethic,
not an adjunct to it.
