Our safety program
The management of Gladiator Equipment Inc. is committed to providing active leadership and support in order to develop and maintain the health and safety of each employee of this company.
The prevention of occupationally induced injuries and illness is of such consequence that it will be given priority over operating productivity at all times. We are committed to provide all mechanical and physical safeguards as required for continued personal health and safety, in keeping with the highest occupational standards.
We will continue to build and maintain a health and safety program conforming to the best practices of organizations of our size. To be successful, such a program must start with proper attitudes toward injury and illness prevention on the part of management, supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation on all health and safety matters, not only between management and employees, but also between each employee and his or her co-workers. Only though cooperative effort can a safety program for all employees be established and preserved in everyone’s best interest.
