Responsibility
To Our Employees and Clients
Weekly Safety Meeting at
Walnut St.
No business objective transcends our commitment to employee safety. To that end, a comprehensive safety program is followed in order to maintain or improve every safety variable at our fabrication facilities and installation sites. A company safety director ensures that we are attaining consistent, recordable improvements. A Preston safety manual and procedures is required reading for all employees. Job applicants must pass a drug test and newly hired employees must complete several on-line safety modules before they are allowed to begin work. In addition to periodic reviews, employee incentives help keep good safety practices at the forefront and reward those employees who faithfully observe them. These and other activities have helped Preston Woodworking achieve an outstanding safety “mod” factor of 0.81, a significant reduction from a good 0.97 in 2004. To consumers and contractors alike, this is an indicator that our employees will be careful and responsible when working at your home or work site. Peace of mind for you – and us.
