Safety
We believe the prevention of accidents and injuries is so important, that a safe working environment has precedence over productivity whenever necessary. To ensure we provide a safe working environment for ourselves, and customers, GSM employs a full-time and fully dedicated Safety Director. The Safety Director can design a site-specific safety guideline for the unique conditions at your facility. He meets regularly with our safety committee to make sure all safety-related communication is flowing properly from the employees to management and back.
Routine toolbox talks are held with all employees so they are aware of current Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and safety tips. The Safety Director is also responsible for teaching OSHA 10-hour, First Aid/CPR, lift training among others, so every employee can feel safe performing their jobs.
Another way we ensure a safe working environment is pre-employment and random drug testing. All of these factors combined with the hard work of everyone in the organization have driven down our Worker's Compensation Experience Modification Rating (EMR) and Total Recordable Incidence Rates (TRIR) to some of the lowest in the industry.
We're proud of our safety - and it shows (view our awards here)
