Company-Wide Safety
At Conomos, we have a company-wide belief that safety
is the result of dedicated effort and education. Our
comprehensive safety program underscores this conviction. Our
programs, implemented on all projects, provide detailed
procedures necessary to meet rigid safety standards. Safety has
its own reward because a successful safety program lowers the
overall costs to our customer. The Conomos Handbook and Safety
Guidelines manual, given to each employee, outlines the basic
policy on safety. It details disciplinary action from reprimand
to termination for specific violations.

Worker Training
Implementing how-to's and
don't do's is a continuing effort. Workers need to know why
safety is so important, not only for their own well-being, but
for the well-being of the company. We train, we inform and we
re-train. Good teaching leads directly to good safety practice.
Safety awareness is a repetitive task at Conomos. Being alert
creates confidence on the job, and that means safer, more
productive work.
