Safety
Training Is The Key
At Pacific Maintenance Company, being frequently and properly trained with regard to safety is a must. We have developed and support a wide range of training programs intended for employees at all levels. Our Custodians, Supervisors, and site managers undergo extensive safety training in the following areas:

The goal of the safety training sessions is to provide a competent level of safety knowledge for all employees to retain and apply within their job functions. Our training process begins with a new hire orientation, followed by safety training. Employees are to be trained and instructed in the location and use of emergency eye wash stations, emergency showers, laboratory fume hoods, and flammable liquid storage cabinets at all job sites.
Pacific Maintenance’s extensive safety program has been in place for the past ten (10) years. Each year the safety program is strengthened with the oversight of two Board Certified Safety Professionals.
Pacific Maintenance has a process in place for the screening of applicants to assure that they can perform the duties of the job. Once an employee is placed in a job they must attend orientation classes that outline the job processes, exposures to hazards and controls that must be in place to reduce the hazards.
The written safety programs such as the Injury, Illness Prevention Plan, Hazard Communication Plan, Blood-borne Pathogen plan, and the Avian Pandemic Flu are reviewed at the time of hire, and periodically thereafter. The code-of-safe practices are reviewed with each new employee and before the start of each new job.
Our Safety Committee has the responsibility to facilitate required safety training within the company. All on site employees must be provided with a safety training seminar coordinated by the department. The committee may accomplish this requirement by developing a program to meet the various training requirements, sending personnel to the Department of Occupational Health and Safety classes, or arranging with the Department of Occupational Health and Safety to provide department specific training.
