Health and safety
Trachte is committed to providing a safe working environment for all employees and the public as it relates to our products and services. Trachte acknowledges and accepts this responsibility, because to not strive for the safest possible working conditions is morally wrong and humanely irresponsible. Additionally, a safe work environment promotes a better and more cost-effective way to produce our products or services.
Trachte considers no phase of operation or administration to be of greater importance than accident prevention. It is the policy, therefore, to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions and to follow operating practices that will safeguard all individuals.
All levels of the organization have a primary responsibility for the safety and well-being of each other. This responsibility can be met only by working continually to promote safe work practices and maintaining property and equipment in safe operating condition. Managers and Supervisors are essential to the success of the safety program because they oversee and direct others. No Manager or Supervisor may ever be relieved of any part of their responsibility for safety.
