Symbology
The name of the company, actually the first three letters of the company name, are the first letter of each of my kids in the order
of their births. When I was working in engineering, in machine design and fabrication, and in a manufacturing plant, my
main goal was to return to my family in the same condition in which I left each it - uninjured! Working safely is an attitude
and set of behaviors. By incorporating the first letters of my children into the name of the company, I am constantly reminded to
work safely so that the workers I affect will return to their families uninjured.
The symbol above is that of steps. The steps represent the process to working safely and gaining profit from having workers
work safely and reducing injuries. The first step is to work to prevent injuries by eliminating or reducing the hazards of the
work environment. Then with each step in the process, the mission is accomlished of preventing workplace injuries and gaining profit.
Just as you cannot move from the first floor to the second floor without a ladder or steps, you must take one step at a time to create
a safety management system that works within your company culture to eliminate or control the hazards that have the potential to injure
workers.
