Safety & Training
Safety At luck8
At luck8, we have a goal of zero accidents and injuries, and we strive daily to "Think Safety. Act Safely."
luck8 employees, our most important resource, leave their families and loved ones every day and work with pride for a quality organization that sells and supports a superior product. We want to make sure that every day those people return home the same way as they arrived to work in the morning.
How do we put that philosophy into practice?
luck8’s Corporate Environmental Health and Safety Department is in charge of the development, implementation and verification of effective training and programs that support workplace safety, health and regulatory compliance. Each individual worker is responsible for safety, however, and everyone is reviewed annually for safe work practices. Top management, supervisors and front line employees work together examining every injury, accident and near miss to determine its cause and develop a corrective action.
How do we put that philosophy into practice in terms of our customers?
