Safety
Tools of the trade
“Securing the safety of our employ-
ees first is a mission of our leader-
ship,” says Dave McCutcheon, vice
president, Florida operations, for PGT
Industries, a window and door manu-
facturer with locations in N. Venice,
Fla.; Salisbury, N.C.; and Lexington,
N.C. “We care about the health and
safety of our employees and strive to
ensure that our behaviors, actions, and
processes consistently reinforce the
principle of safety first. A strong safety
policy ensures higher productivity by
eliminating the potential for down-
time due to accidents or injuries.”
Every company should designate a
safety o;cer to coordinate four impor-
tant items:
Continually review first-aid kits to ;;
ensure that its contents are always in
stock. While one can’t predict when an
injury will occur, you can ensure that the
right product will be ready when it does.
