Safely Exceeding Expectations
Safety has always been our number one priority. Our stringent protocols, ongoing training, and investment in cutting-edge technology are clear indicators of our commitment to the health and welfare of the Wayne Brothers team. We believe it is our duty to protect our employees and our trade partners.
Our Protocols
Employee well-being is at the forefront of our hiring process and the day-to-day at Wayne Brothers. Each person participates in random drug testing, daily pre-task risk assessments and stretching, weekly safety talks, and on-the-job safety orientations specific to their assigned tasks.
Our full-time safety personnel offer bilingual training and briefings, ensuring that everyone gets the facts in their native language. They’re also independent from field supervision, meaning that no one can stop us from putting employee safety first.
Finally, every Wayne Brothers training lesson includes information about staying safe on the job, whether you’re learning about leadership or confined spaces.
Our Safety Culture
These efforts reflect our commitment to protecting the men and women of Wayne Brothers. By weaving safety into every area of our operations — from hiring to ongoing training — we ensure our people get home safe every day. No exceptions.
