NCM takes a highly proactive, integrated approach to safety and quality programs. In addition to compliance with regulatory-required training and standards, NCM implements company-specific programs across all operations and departments in a concerted effort to promote safety awareness, employee well-being, and the safest possible on-site work practices. In many cases, our site-specific safety programs actually exceed regulatory requirements. As a result, NCM has earned a very competitive interstate Experience Modification Rating (EMR), allowing us to extend to clients one of the highest-quality insurance and bonding programs in the industry. The company’s outstanding EMR records as well as a number of safety awards reflect our continuous dedication to excellence in this essential area.
Safety Standards and Beyond: Code and Regulation Compliance, Experienced Supervision, Daily Safety Meetings, and More...NCM personnel maintain a safe and healthy work environment through continuing application of standard health and safety procedures, which comply with applicable provisions of OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926 as well as applicable state laws. All NCM field personnel (as well as our subcontractors and teaming partners) who perform hazardous waste and emergency response operations train for a minimum of 40 hours as specified by OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standards. At least one supervisor for each site receives an additional eight hours (minimum) of specialized training in hazardous waste supervision. All employees participate in regularly scheduled safety meetings.
