Training & Safety… for Measurable Results
Because our customers expect excellent service from all our employees, ABM’s extensive screening process incorporates the following:
- A well-defined recruiting process
- Interviews
- Mandatory background investigations
- Pre-employment drug screening
- In-depth skills evaluation for technical staff
- Verification of engineering degrees for key management positions.
We support our employees through direct on-site training, a web-based safety training library and customized site-specific procedures. All employees attend training that covers:
- Safety awareness
- Hazard communication
- Lock-out/tag-out
Continued course material includes:
- Blood borne pathogens
- Personal protective equipment
- Material safety data sheets and chemical handling
- Electrical safety
- Fire safety
- Non-Destructive testing
- Asbestos and other hazardous materials
- Preparation for natural disasters and emergencies
- Slip and fall prevention
- Lifting and ladders
- Accident and unsafe work condition reporting
- Eye injury prevention
- Hand and finger safety
- First aid
Using a state-of-the-art reporting system, our leadership teams tour customer facilities regularly to report corrective recommendations. Furthermore, we encourage employees to report unsafe working conditions directly or anonymously through a toll-free number. Clients benefit from reduced injuries, downtime and insurance claims. Our safety systems and procedures help us maintain an excellent record of reducing accidents.
Thus, 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.
