SAFETYPOLICY
At James H Drew Corporation, safety is not a checkbox — it is a shared responsibility embedded in every level of our organization.
Our Safety Commitment
James H Drew Corporation is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for every employee, subcontractor, and member of the public who interacts with our operations. Safety is assigned as a line function — supervisors at every level bear direct responsibility for the safety of the people under their supervision.
No operation will be conducted in violation of established safety standards. If unsafe conditions arise, work will cease until the necessary corrections are made. Safe operation is a shared responsibility across all levels of our organization and is non-negotiable.
