The safety and health of every employee of DCS is our top priority. Management is committed to furnish a safe work environment, and accepts responsibility for developing and directing the safety and health program.
At DCS, Safety is about knowledge and attitude. Extensive classroom instruction, field training, safety videos, employee testing and frequent refresher sessions, combined with a “Work Safe” attitude, contribute to our outstanding overall safety record. Our commitment to safety practices and programs is unwavering. Every new employee undergoes pre-employment drug screening and a criminal background check. Employees attend safety classes where they are trained in all aspects of safe job performance, including fork lift and scissor lift operations, lock out/tag out programs, and competent persons duties. DCS’s concern for employees, both ours and those of other contractors on the job site, goes way beyond OSHA requirements. Periodic job site safety visits from management help reinforce our strong commitment for creating and maintaining a safe working environment. Our safety committee, consisting of both field and staff personnel, meets monthly to discuss safety issues.
DCS has long recognized that a strong safety program is beneficial for everyone. Employees enjoy a safer work environment, clients get more competitive pricing from a company that has to pay less for workers comp, and clients ultimately have a lower risk of liability for job site accidents.
