Safety at Stark
Safety is more than an ever-shifting priority…we consider it a core value.
At Stark, we are committed to providing the safest workplace for our employees, our clients and the general public. Our belief that employees are the greatest and most valuable asset is the foundation of our unwavering commitment to safety. The key principle that drives our safety process is the expectation that everyone, from the company President to the newly hired employee, shares the responsibility of achieving the highest level of safety performance in our operations.
We have developed a safety process that includes an emphasis on formal training, daily inspections, pre-start huddle meetings, substance abuse testing, and established safety policies that meet and often exceed governmental agency requirements.
When it comes to safety, we are dedicated to continually evaluating our processes to ensure our core value of safety is always paramount in our operations. Our ultimate goal is ZERO ACCIDENTS.
