The success of our safety program is in its design. Our Safety Manual has been accepted throughout client organizations such as Avetta contractor screening and ISNetworld as a part of a comprehensive Safety Management System that is designed to ensure continuous improvement and foster an environment of cooperative compliance. Every element, sub-element and program in our SMS is audited quarterly with a comprehensive annual audit. During this audit and review process, we identify deficiencies in our system and develop remediation plans to eliminate the errors thereby continually improving our programs and procedures.
