Sanchez Arango Safety Department
Sanchez Arango's Safety Department is dedicated to providing employees with a safe work environment,
job-specific education, and supervision to minimize accidents in the workplace. Comprehensive "Safety First"
initiatives and regular meetings led by a certified Safety Director with 100% compliance with OSHA protect our
team in the workplace and at job sites.
This commitment to safety and to accident prevention is good for our clients as well as our workers.
Our no-excuses approach to hazard mitigation and our continuous training contribute to an excellent safety
record. One benefit of our Safety Effort and Safety Policies is access to more competitive insurance rates,
resulting in savings that we pass on to our clients. The work we perform is done with the highest regard to
safety and protection of employees--the client’s as well as our own.
Sanchez Arango's Safety Program remains up-to-date with industry standards in the ever-changing work environment,
constantly addressing new challenges that develop in the field. Classroom and hands-on training--focused on recognizing,
reporting and correcting hazards at job sites--meets and exceeds state and federal regulations. We keep our workforce
on the leading edge of safety by constantly reviewing and training our team on federal and state regulations, and on
our industry’s best practices. Committed to our Safety Program, employees are the core of Safety Effort, our eyes and
ears on the field. All concerns brought in through our employees, clients, insurance carriers, and others are met with
a welcoming attitude.
All employees, including new-hires, are trained by a certified Safety Director with 100% compliance with OSHA.
Protective personal equipment is supplied, and 100%-Tie-Off program is in effect for employees exposed to fall hazards.
Our employees are trained in different disciplines in order to accomplish specific tasks in our company’s workplace.
