Working Safe is a PPC Culture The importance of job site safety has become paramount as our prominent clients and general contractors make it mandatory prior to joining their construction teams.  Penington Painting Company prides itself for not only making safety a policy, it is in fact a part of our "Company Culture."  It is our belief, that regardless of the bottom line, NO job is a success if a job-site injury occurs associated with our scope of work.  PPC's OSHA 500 Certified safety managers are continually training, monitoring and mentoring all PPC field personnel throughout each and every project we are involved with. Prior to starting a project, PPC provides its clients with a Site Specific Safety Plan, outlining the potential hazards associated with the specific job site and the methods for working safely around them.  Material Safety Data Sheets are provided to the client as well as being immediately available to employees and other trades.  Prior to starting their shifts, each employee participates in a "Stretch and Flex" program, that has been proven industry wide, to prevent and minimize job-site "strains & pains."  Also, prior to beginning any task, our formen generate a "Pre-Task-Plan" outlining potential hazards relative to the specific task and the steps to avoiding them. PPC's safety record is a direct reflection of the continual effort by our staff, as each and every employee is dedicated to maintaining and teaching our Safety Culture.  In fact, Penington Painting Company is the only known painting contractor that rewards its union field employees with an additional "weeks paid vacation" for working safely and without a safety violation for a full year!
