SAFETY IS OUR GREATEST PRIORITY AND DRIVING FORCE
Across every level of Strength H2O, our unwavering focus remains on enhancing and strengthening safety performance.
We believe that a workplace free from incidents is not only possible but essential. No one should suffer harm while working with or for Strength H2O. Our deep commitment to safety is both a personal and professional promise, influencing the well-being of our employees, clients, families, communities, and the environment. Every decision and action we take reflects our dedication to promoting safe behaviors, identifying risks early, and preventing unsafe conditions before they escalate into injuries or statistics.
MAINTAINING OUR LOW INCIDENT RATES AT STRENGTH H2O
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) identifies TRIR and DART as two of the most significant safety performance indicators. Strength H2O continually measures and evaluates its progress using these metrics.
Our consistent record of achieving superior safety outcomes distinguishes us within the environmental services industry. Multiple overarching safety initiatives guide our organization, supported by more than one hundred detailed safety policies established across our North American operations. These programs ensure that our safety systems are structured, effective, and ever-evolving.
EXCELLENCE IN TRIR PERFORMANCE
Protecting our team and minimizing incident rates remain central to our mission. Strength H2O continuously refines safety procedures to uphold excellence and meet our customers’ expectations for reliable service providers with the lowest TRIR, DART, and EMR scores. Through consistent improvement, training, and accountability, our dedication to maintaining these standards ensures safer workplaces and greater confidence among employees and clients alike.
STRENGTH H2O’S SAFETY BEGINS WITH EACH OF US
The “Strength H2O Safety Starts with Me: Live It 2-4-7” program deepens our company-wide safety culture by reinforcing personal responsibility and shared accountability. The message is simple but powerful safety matters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether we’re at a client site, traveling, or at home. It’s not just a policy it’s a mindset and a lifestyle.
We believe injuries are preventable. Every team member is empowered to participate in training, share ideas, and take ownership of safety outcomes. This inclusion creates a sense of control and personal investment in building an injury-free workplace where safety success is a collective responsibility.
OUR TWO CORE SAFETY PRINCIPLES
The “two” in our 2-4-7 initiative represents the foundation of our safety philosophy:
- Safety must be managed proactively, and no job is worth getting hurt for.
- Every incident and near miss is preventable when the right actions are taken.
These guiding beliefs anchor every aspect of our approach, ensuring we view safety as a continuous practice rather than a checklist.
FOUR PERSONAL REASONS TO STAY SAFE
The “four” in 2-4-7 symbolizes the personal motivations behind each employee’s commitment to safety. Every individual has unique reasons family, coworkers, friends, customers, or personal goals that drive them to make responsible choices. Recognizing these motivations keeps safety personal, meaningful, and consistent across every shift, site, and task.
SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL RULES FOR SAFETY SUCCESS
The “seven” in 2-4-7 stands for Strength H2O’s seven golden rules of safety guidelines that define our daily behavior and ensure safety is never compromised.
- I will operate vehicles responsibly, free from distractions or impairments.
- I will plan my work carefully and know my safety strategy before starting each day.
- I will only perform tasks for which I have received proper training.
- I will take accountability for my safety at work, at home, and while in transit.
- I will intervene immediately if I witness unsafe behavior or conditions.
- I will promptly report all incidents and near misses to prevent recurrence.
- I will take responsibility for protecting those who work alongside me.
These rules are the backbone of our safety culture, creating a unified standard of conduct that supports everyone’s well-being.
THE COLLECTIVE BENEFIT OF SAFETY
Strong safety practices create ripple effects that extend beyond individual well-being. Employees thrive in environments where they feel secure and supported, which naturally improves morale and productivity. This heightened confidence translates into better service for our clients and a stronger sense of teamwork. Customers benefit through reduced operational risks, improved reliability, and lower overall costs associated with safe and efficient operations.
COMMITTING TO SAFE ACTIONS EVERY DAY
Safety is not a one-time effort it’s a continuous process of education, reinforcement, and example-setting. By actively modeling safe behaviors, we inspire others to do the same. Choosing to make safety a personal cause helps protect not just ourselves, but everyone around us. Together, we can build a culture where safety is instinctive, respected, and lived every single day.
