Safety Message

I've also been asked, "What is your philosophy?" The answer is very simple:

Our product is our service. Our ability to provide world-class service, and to understand our customers' need and custom-fit an environmental plan that helps them run their business more efficiently, are competitive advantages that differentiate us from our competitors.

Nothing is more important than safety. It's not an option for me; it's not an option for the company. There are no shortcuts when it comes to the safety of our employees and in following safe work practices at our customers' facilities. Many of our trucks travel the same highways that our families and children travel. We must make sure that those trucks are as safe as they can be and that we have the best-trained drivers behind the wheel.

We will continue to invest a significant amount of our time and financial resources on safety training. Ultimately, however, I firmly believe that safety is not a department, it's a culture. Working safe is a personal responsibility for every Vesna employee.
