“At Leonard we have a culture in which safety is our top priority. Our business operates more efficiently with an effective safety program and I think it also shows our commitment to our employees’ overall health and well-being,” says Scott Abernathy, Leonard’s general manager.
Safety matters, it writes.
The goal at the company, it relates, is to foster an injury-free workplace by making safety a part of its operational plan and including employees in that plan through committees, walk-throughs and meetings.
