EPIC GROUP SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT       Of EPIC's many concerns, none are more important than the safety of our employees. The prevention of injury is therefore a primary management responsibility which must be accepted by each supervisor and every employee throughout the EPIC organization.

Our objective as a company must be the total elimination of injuries and losses. It is a challenging objective toward which we must all strive. There is no doubt that working safe has great value and enhances employee morale. The management of EPIC is committed to implementing an effective Safety Management Program to achieve these goals. The program consists of formal training for management and supervisory personnel to the foreman level. Weekly on-the-job safety meetings are held in order to provide training and safety instruction to all employees on the jobsite. All employees must be committed to our safety program if it is to be effective. Individuals with outstanding safety records will be recognized and rewarded for their efforts. We provide the environment, encouragement and support necessary to achieve excellence in safety performance, so EPIC's safety record will be the standard by which others are measured.
