It is the policy of this company to strive for the highest safety standards on our projects. Safety does not occur by chance, it is the result of careful attention to all company operations by those who are directlyand indirectly involved such as field personnel, home office personnel and client personnel. Throughout our extensive career within the diversified ever-changing construction/maintenance industry, we have become aware of maintaining the competitive edge in providing those services which will not only satisfy our clients current needs, but also their future needs. Areas encompassing "Safety", "Quality" and "Pride" are oftentimes those areas which may become victims of maintaining that competitive edge by increasing "Productivity". We, of G.A. West & Co., Inc, firmly believe that we cannot fulfill our client's needs if any of these areas are not foremost in resolving situations.
G.A. West & Co., Inc. has found that only through the careful blending of "Safety", "Pride", "Quality" and "Productivity" can we provide efficient and cost-effective resolutions to our client's needs. Since it is our goal to minimize accidents and maximize safety, quality, and production, our management communicates safety procedures and company policies to its supervision level employees at monthly corporate safety meetings. Supervisory training classes are required of all foremen and supervisors on a yearly basis through the G.A. West corporate training division. These training classes give supervisors communication skills and guidelines for communicating company policies.
