We have designed and structured our Safety Management System (SMS) in accordance with OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program Standards with emphasis on Commitment, Involvement and Continual Improvement. 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.
