Safety Services
With over 200 years of combined safety experience, the Graham Safety Team is keenly aware of our clients’ operational processes and the potential exposures they create. We are in our clients’ communities and in their offices to help them achieve the highest safety standards.
It Starts with Culture
Many of the industries we serve at Graham Company are considered high-risk occupations. For these businesses, establishing a culture of safety must be a core value in order to mitigate exposures. Accomplishing this starts at the top with the leadership team and should resonate throughout the entire organization. We work in lockstep with our clients to achieve this by establishing a foundation of risk management practices that influences the day-to-day policies and procedures with safety as the top priority. Our team helps to instill the importance of embracing a safety culture where it’s not about being “good enough” and then resting on your laurels – it’s about continuing to improve your safety operations with the goal of getting better every day.
Beyond Mere Compliance
We understand that safety within an organization cannot be simply checking a box to comply with OSHA standards and CMS regulations. At Graham, we use the phrase “culture beats compliance” and we believe this unequivocally. Yes, we partner with our clients to ensure compliance because that is required of workplaces, but we know mere compliance is not enough when we’re talking about the safety of your employees. The reality is, simply being compliant doesn’t necessarily ensure that your employees get home safe each night. That’s why we are at our clients’ job sites, in their facilities and in their offices to help them achieve the highest safety standards.
Unmatched Offerings by Seasoned Safety Professionals
Our robust safety team is comprised of OSHA-authorized instructors, a registered nurse, an industrial hygienist and some of the best safety professionals in the industry today. Through our team’s unique experience in the field, we are keenly aware of the operational processes and potential exposures that companies in high-risk industries face – and as a result, have formulated superior safety services for our clients that are second to none. Most importantly, our clients know we truly care and we will be there for them every step of the way, regardless of the time of day or the day of the week. START Treatment & Recovery Centers has access to all of Graham Safety professionals.
