“Here at WBG, we have a values-based safety culture—one that connects workplace safety to the real human impact accidents have on families, coworkers, and communities. This approach has proved powerful because it moves safety beyond rules and compliance and makes it personal and meaningful. Don’t be selfish, be safe.”
– Joel Drewry
WBG Safety Coordinator & OSHA Authorized Instructor
Safety is constantly our focus at W.B. Guimarin and Company
At all levels of the company, we hold weekly safety meetings — from Toolbox Talks with field personnel, to safety progress overviews with the management team, we are all focused on creating a safe working environment.
Our award-winning safety program has been recognized by Carolinas AGC, ABC Carolinas, and the SC Chamber of Commerce, and we have twice in the past 10 years achieved over 1 million man hours without a Lost Time Accident.
In addition to continually monitoring our safety, we also seek ways to continually improve our processes. A safety committee comprised of field tradesmen, foremen, service technicians, management, and ownership meets on a monthly basis to review safety practices and seek new ways to create a safer work environment and workforce.
Our team follows the WBG Safety Handbook as standard operating procedure, and develops site specific safety plans to customize our program to meet any project that has specific needs. Our full time, dedicated Safety Officer is always available to make site visits and consult with personnel on any task specific questions that may arise.
