Safety Always: A New Resolve Every Day
As is common for many of us, we set resolutions at the start of each year. Most of those resolutions seem to fade as we go. I recently came across some articles that reclaim the importance of resolutions and recast them in terms of a new resolve, a decision we renew each day.
Each day, we renew our commitment to safety, understanding that it’s an ongoing effort. We continuously refocus on Safety Always to adapt to changing environments, technologies, and challenges. It’s a new resolve and a resolution that we embrace at the start of every day, ensuring that we keep safety in the forefront of everything we do.
At WTS, Safety Always means that our primary focus is on the well-being of our team members and the integrity of our work. We make safety our top priority, even over profits, deadlines, and management decisions. Every task, every operation, and every project begins with a commitment to safety. We know that when we prioritize safety, we ensure long-term success—not just for us, but all our stakeholders.
At WTS, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s our shared value and a core principle that guides everything we do. Safety Always is ingrained in our culture, defining the way we work and interact with one another. It’s not something we do occasionally or when it’s convenient. Safety is always at the forefront, guiding our decisions, behaviors, and communication on every occasion, without exception.
Proactive Safety Behavior
Whether or not anyone is watching, each member of the WTS team proactively follows safety protocols to ensure a safe working environment. This level of personal accountability and discipline ensures that safety is embedded into our daily routines, from start to finish.
Open Communication
A crucial part of Safety Always is maintaining open lines of communication with all stakeholders. At WTS, our team is empowered and comfortable reporting safety concerns at any time, without fear of negative consequences. We understand that safety is an ongoing conversation, and it requires constant attention and collaboration.
Acknowledging Risks
We know that WTS’ activities involve inherent risks. Every project, every task, and every environment presents its own set of challenges and potential hazards. However, we refuse to let these risks compromise our commitment to safety.
We continuously assess and evaluate the risks associated with our operations together, making adjustments as needed.
We’re Stoppable
At WTS, Safety Always means that no task is too urgent or too important to stop if something is unsafe. If a team member feels there is a risk, they have the authority to halt work, seek additional information, or obtain extra resources to mitigate the hazard.
Our Product + Service: Safe and Compliant Management of Materials
Our commitment to Safety Always extends beyond our internal operations. At WTS, we prioritize the safe and compliant management of materials throughout every stage of the process. This ensures that we meet all safety regulations, standards, and expectations, while safeguarding the health and well-being of all our stakeholders.
Together as Stakeholders, we make safety not just a goal, but a daily practice, ensuring that everyone remains safe, healthy, and secure. Thank you for sharing this value with us!
Together,
