Wiggins’ safety policy starts with commitment from the leadership of our company to protect the health and safety of all employees. Our employees adhere to the policy by performing all of their duties with a genuine concern for safety, not just for themselves, but for the safety of their fellow employees and the safety of property and equipment. Our safety policy sets the standard for the entire company.

Managing risk is a vital part of our safety culture. Our risk management process includes immunity based hazard reporting that encourages employees to report safety concerns that they encounter on the job. Our Safety Department assesses the level of risk associated with each hazard and investigates the root cause to determine how best to reduce, mitigate, or eliminate that risk.

We use the safety assurance pillar to evaluate how effective our risk control strategies are. This is accomplished through various audits and different safety programs such as ASAP [Aviation Safety Action Program] and CASS [Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System]. The safety assurance pillar also helps us actively track corrective actions to ensure they have been implemented properly and in a timely manner.

Promoting safety involves everyone. We promote safety throughout all of our training programs and also through our Safety Team, which is comprised of employees based at every location and involves every department. The team meets regularly and is engaged in looking for ways to improve safety at each location. We also have fun with our Safety Team through contests that help remind us to think Safety Above All!
