The Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) of the State of Nevada Division of Industrial Relations recognized PetersenDean Roofing and Solar at their North Las Vegas location on February 1, 2017 with the Safe Partner Award for their continued efforts in workplace health and safety. This award recognizes businesses that work closely with SCATS to increase both employer and employee knowledge of the value of safety in the workplace. The Safe Partner Award is an elite program and is only awarded to four businesses per year out of the 50,000 employers in the State of Nevada.
“The implementation of PetersenDean’s safety program has created harmony between operations and safety to work as a team. Corporate support is key, you can’t do anything without that,” said Jose Perez, PetersenDean National Safety Programmer. “SCATS helped us with the knowledge and experience I needed to implement changes. The best part is that all SCATS services are free. You just have to be open to learning.”
PetersenDean Roofing and Solar joins a committed group of businesses that have placed employee safety at the top of their priority list. A commitment by management to work with SCATS leads to exemplary safety and health programs that can reduce or eliminate injuries and illness. Safe Partner Award recognition is granted for utilizing a range of the different SCATS services over time. SCATS consultants provide employers with confidential hazard identification, program development, program implementation assistance and training, all at no cost.
“PetersenDean’s partnership with SCATS and their ongoing safety effort is the kind of commitment needed to create real change in a workplace,” said Todd Schultz, Chief Administrative Officer for SCATS.
