A Teamwork Approach to Safety

take responsibility & be accountable

As a dedicated group of Employee Owners, we understand that safety requires a teamwork approach to impact, influence, and inspire one another to be responsible in keeping each other safe and healthy.  Each Employee Owner has the right to derive personal satisfaction from his/her job and the prevention of occupational injury or illness is of such importance that safety must always be given top priority.  

The commitment we make every day with regards to safety is to adhere to our industry leading safety standards, hold safety at the forefront of everything we do, continually improve our processes, demonstrate leadership, and promote comprehensive safety programs, policies, and procedures. SPAN expects all Employee Owners and its partners to take responsibility and be accountable for making this commitment to themselves, our clients, our community, and our families.
