Your safety is our top priority.
When our founder, Steve, first created NCW 22+ years ago, his goal was to establish a company that truly put people first. In a space with fast-paced work and constant commotion, principles of safety are sometimes overlooked or forgotten about. At NCW, we want to change that. Guided by our core values, our team has set out to keep safety top of mind for our own team and those that surround us. In order to do this, the NCW created a dedicated Field Support team to help start the conversations regarding safety and to act as a liaison between worksite leaders and our field employees.
The Field Support team provides Toolbox Talks, hand-delivers or ships the necessary PPE required for job sites, and consults field employees on any updated safety procedures. In addition to the hard work of this dedicated team, our recruiters and business development representatives stay in the know about common safety standards to communicate the information to those involved.
Launching September 7th, 2022, the P.A.U.S.E. safety initiative came to fruition. The idea behind the initiative was to help keep safety top of mind and establish ways that our team could improve our safety efforts. We knew that in order to make a difference, we had to start by making a change in our corner of the world. Starting out, the NCW Team has compiled the “Pillars of P.A.U.S.E.” to outline the approach to raise safety awareness.
