Safety

Safety is our culture. It is a "round the clock" attitude shared throughout FiberCore Logistics. It is present from the very first job walk, to daily tailboards, and on through the day's production activities. This safety attitude continues further to jobsite cleanup and our journey home to family. Our safety culture is an ingrained part of our daily lives, both on and off the job.

FiberCore Logistics strives to attain and sustain a zero-incident workplace. Our safety programs focus on the safety of our employees, the general public, and our valued customers. Before work begins on any project, employees are enrolled in pre-job training which covers job tasks, potential hazards, hazard mitigation, and safety plans specific to each project.

Each FiberCore Logistics crew conducts daily Task Hazard Analysis reviews, attends weekly safety meetings, and discusses weekly safety topics. Regular inspections, safety audits, and quarterly safety-related industry training are a few of the additional programs FiberCore Logistics employs to exceed safety standards for each job.
