In a recent formal risk assessment conducted by a leading insurance broker, Northwest attained the highest rating that organization ever awarded to a contractor. Owing in no small part to our NFPA trained Confined Space Entry Rescue Team which provides services to a major global client as their entry authority of record. Safety for the Northwest Companies is a diverse undertaking that recognizes and challenges unique workplace obstacles.
From day one, all personnel undergo directed and specific training to ensure they are fully aware of our commitment to safety. Training for Northwest Companies personnel is conducted both internally as well as through regulatory bodies and is a continual process throughout each employee’s career. At both our own facility as well as client sites, each day starts with an assessment of potential hazards in the workplace, and how those hazards may be mitigated for the safety of our personnel. We encourage all employees’ participation in this process and reward contributions to our safety culture. Safety, quality, production; we are committed to these priorities.
