SAFETY FIRST
A message from our Corporate Director of Safety and Risk:
“CMC’s mission regarding safety is to constantly challenge ourselves to be more productive and innovative while maintaining a safe working environment, all of which helps to train employees in a way that’s personal, relevant to their needs and work experience. CMC’s culture supported the development of innovative ways enhances our safety program like our convenient onsite training rather than in an off-site classroom which is extremely positive. CMC’s treatment of injured employees is extremely personal and shows the employees that we are serious about safety and their well being. Another initiative, which I organize, is a training “exchange” with safety directors of other companies . That exchange, as well as SMACNA’s safety program publications and its access to experts across the country, are great resources for CMC’s safety efforts.”
At CMC Sheet Metal, the personal safety and health of each employee is of primary importance. Our goal is to provide safe environments for all employees and foster a culture that results in a zero-accident/incident setting. Every decision we make focuses on advancing people and building long-lasting relationships with customers and employees.
