How Committed to Safety are You?

By Michelle Miller, RCS Writer. 

Tremco and WTI are committed to leading with safety, every day. 

Roofing is a profession requiring a conscious commitment to safety. One slip, trip, unstable ladder, improperly secured deck, or miscalculation by any member of the team can quickly put the safety of individuals and entire crews in jeopardy. If you aren’t hearing about safety from every manufacturer, distributor, or company you’re working with, you should be.  

Safety means that at the end of the day, you and your crew get to go home in the same or better shape than you arrived. If you’re not sure if your crews, colleagues and employer are committed to safety, check out how Tremco approaches safety. 

Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenace and WTI fully recognizes how important safety is to roofers.  

• Each site receives its own safety plan. Every project, regardless of size, receives a thorough inspection and analysis to understand the job site’s potential hazards, safe work procedures, product characteristics, equipment operation, conditions and specific customer requirements.  

• Every field advisor and technical personnel receives extensive safety training, and are provided with a comprehensive set of safety resources. Tremco has over 300 and WTI has over 400 technical field personnel and general contracting management, and every individual has a minimum of an OSHA 10-hour safety card.  

• Every member of the team is current on safety procedures and protocols, and has access to 24 Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainers with extensive roofing craft experience. This in-house safety expertise permits consistent and safe installation of our systems focused on customer and site-specific health and safety requirements. A team of safety experts is also available in the field to answer questions or concerns that may arise. 

With a goal of zero incidents, Tremco and WTI Injury rates are consistently lower at when compared to industry averages (for the last 15 years). Tremco and WTI know and understand what is at stake in construction and renovation projects. Tremco will never leave the safety and security of employees, installation teams and other on-site trades to chance. Job site safety grounded in proper training is without question the highest priority. 

Your life depends on it. There’s nothing more important than working for a company that puts the safety of its team members first. Does this sound like an environment you would like to be a part of?
