SAFETY

The safety and well being of UPI employees is of preeminent important to company management.  After all, they aren’t just employees, they are indeed family.  To ensure that our employees are able to perform their work in as safe a manner as possible, UPI focuses on three elements.  First, employees are provided extensive training upon hiring and throughout their employment.  This training allows employees to identify and avoid potential hazards that they will encounter in the course of their employment.  Second, we provide our employees with the very best equipment in the industry.  This allows them to be safer and more efficient in the process.  Finally, each of our employees are empowered to take immediate action should an unsafe situation ever present itself.  Any employee can stop work until such a time as the identified issue is rectified.  This empowerment demonstrates managements commitment to providing each and every employee the very safest workplace possible.  It's our focus on these three elements that has permitted UPI to exceed industry standards for safety performance year after year.
