Safety is the number one priority at Meridian Waste

featured in Community and Team

Safety is the number one priority at Meridian Waste. Our goal is to be the leader in safety and health and ultimately achieve zero accidents and zero injuries. The personal safety of each employee and every member of the communities in which we live and operate is vital to us.

Waste and Recycling Workers Week is a great time to show your appreciation by serving those who serve our communities. Throughout the week of June 17th, join us in thanking your garbage collection providers and all those who work in the waste industry.

Part of our celebrations are to thank our teams and reiterate our care and commitment to each individual through dedication to their safety.

To accomplish this, we will systematically manage the safety and health of our operations.
We will accomplish this by:

Showing our commitment to safety through our actions.
Taking personal responsibility and having accountability for safety.
Establishing proficiency among our employees in the anticipation, recognition and elimination or control of hazards.
Actively looking for unsafe acts, conditions, and practices and responding with the appropriate corrective action.
Looking out for the safety of one another every day.
Systematically assessing and prioritizing risk.
Complying with applicable laws and regulations.
Measuring our performance on a regular basis.
Monitoring and evaluating programs and policies for effectiveness to continuously improve our program.

Thanks for all you do to keep our communities clean & green!

June is National Safety Month.
