Safety - A Primary Focus for our Family of Companies

By George Miller, AICP, Vice President

I have witnessed tremendous change to our safety understanding, focus, and culture within the last decade at Transcon Environmental. What was originally a task to meet our clients' safety standards has now become a primary focus of our company. Safety Manager Tim Kukuk and our safety team have continued to develop and improve Transcon’s safety processes. Our robust Injury and Illness Prevention Plan provides the framework for our overall safety program, which includes more than 30 individual safety topics. Our comprehensive safety trainings are categorized based on employee work activities. Because of this focus and investment in our employees’ health and safety, Transcon meets or exceeds all safety standards within our industry and routinely receives excellent safety compliance ratings.

While we are proud of our health and safety program and safety record, we recognize that this is not permanent. We will continue to closely monitor our safety metrics and emphasize building and strengthening an effective safety culture. As we move toward the formation of Eocene Environmental Group, safety representatives from Transcon, CNUC, and Wright Service Corp. are collaborating to develop a comprehensive health and safety program where the best plans, procedures, and trainings from all companies will be combined into a preeminent health and safety program. Our shared goal is making safety not just a priority – but a core value for Eocene and for each and every Eocene employee.
