To ensure safety best practices remain at the forefront of our business, HK employs a full-time Certified Safety Professional. This leadership position is solely dedicated to enforcing federal, state and local regulations, as well as developing our own strict Loss Prevention and Control Plan specific to manhole safety, sewer safety procedures and hazardous waste disposal procedures.
Our Health and Safety Director brings over 20 years of experience in the Environmental Health and Safety profession. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture and multiple industry-recognized certifications, including Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, Certified Safety Manager (CSM), and an Industrial Safety Certification. Her background spans both quality control and safety leadership, strengthening HK’s commitment to maintaining safe, compliant, and efficient operations across every job site.
At HK, safety starts at the top, but it doesn’t stop there. At one time or another, every employee—from technicians to business development leaders—serves on our Safety Committee. Employee involvement puts real substance behind our written safety programs because multiple minds come together to review the strategies and policies many employees use throughout their daily work for HK customers. Exposing every employee to this critical aspect of our business allows each of us to be wholly invested in workplace safety training. The committee regularly updates the rest of our team, so safety is always top of mind.
Workplace Safety Audits
In addition to prioritizing employee awareness, we perform routine workplace safety audits to identify risks before incidents occur. During each audit, we test employee knowledge, inspect equipment, and update our policies as needed to ensure our safety goals are being met. HK employees are equipped with the best personal protective equipment for the eyes, face, head and extremities before they enter a work site.
