PREVENTION, RESPONSIVENESS, SAFETY
At Northstar Fire Protection we firmly believe that injuries, illnesses, and incidents are preventable; not inevitable. However, when they do occur we must respond in a timely fashion and generate corrective action(s) that will prevent reoccurrence. We also believe that our management team must play an active role in the enforcement of our safety rules and policies.
OUR COMMITTMENT
Please feel free to call on me directly with any questions or concerns regarding our safety program. I am proud of our employees and the program we have built thus far. We at Northstar Fire Protection know how important site safety is to you as the contractor and we do not take it lightly, we will continue to evolve and reinvent ourselves to accommodate our customer’s needs and offer a first class experience from beginning to end.
Best Regards,
Bob Perkins - Corporate Safety Director
