Safety
At PRIME, we believe that Safety is both a personal and corporate responsibility. Safety training, creating safety awareness, recognizing and correcting hazards in a timely manner, and safety policy and procedure enforcement are the most important functions that we provide to our teams and clients. Our safety program is in-depth and each employee is responsible and held accountable for a safe working environment.
We have empowered employees of every level on our teams to recognize and correct safety issues on the spot. This approach keeps us all responsible for creating the safest and most productive work environments possible.
