Using a state-of-the-art reporting system, our leadership teams tour the facilities regularly to report corrective recommendations. Furthermore, we encourage employees to report unsafe working conditions directly or anonymously through a toll-free number. Our clients benefit from reduced injuries, downtime and insurance claims. By maintaining our safety record, we are also able to reduce the cost of worker’s compensation insurance. To ensure compliance, we have built our safety program into our preventive maintenance system, which periodically notifies site supervisors to conduct site inspections, review specific training modules and document attendance.
ABM Facility Services leverages the safety systems and procedures developed by ABM Engineering Services, to maintain an excellent record of reducing accidents.
