Robert D. Benda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
“A safe working environment” is an integral
part of our mission statement. But it is much more than four
words on a poster! I am passionately committed to this element
of our mission and I expect everyone in our organization to
share that passion. Each of us has a responsibility for the
safety of our colleagues, those who share our work space and
ourselves. Our Westwood Online University is an integral part
of our effort to be knowledgeable of safe practices and
constantly learn ways to improve the safety of our work
environment. I encourage each of you to keep up your assigned
training regimen and to pursue other training specific to your
own perceived needs. Together we can make Westwood a great,
and safe, place to work.
Mike McBride, Chief Operating
Officer
“Our commitment to our customers,
suppliers and employees alike is to be informed and
practice the latest safety standards in everything we
do. The well-being of our team as well as everyone who
enters our workspace, financial risks and quality are
all affected by our safety practices and everyone must
play a role in managing these risks. The Westwood Online
University is a key resource for your use in ensuring
that you do your part.”
Kurt Young, General Superintendent and Safety
Director
“Westwood Online University is a training
program accessible online at anytime. It has 160+ safety
related courses to train new Superintendents and for our
seasoned staff to renew or review their knowledge of sound
safety practices. It is important to keep our Safety training
fresh and updated. Toward this end, a key part of your
performance appraisal will be your completion of your assigned
safety training program during the year.”
