SAFETY

At Southern Air, we value the well-being of our partners above all other aspects of our business. The Leadership Team is committed to providing a safe and secure work environment for all of our partners. This commitment is implemented through consistent training with an emphasis on safety and prevention.

All partners have the obligation to Think, Plan, and Perform their job tasks in a manner that will provide an incident-free environment. We understand our economic value rests completely with the productivity of our work force and agree a safe, orderly, and well-planned environment is essential to productivity. We hold everyone accountable their actions with full support and backing from the Leadership Team.

As a provider of contracting services, we face a unique challenge that our work environment is spread out over numerous and different geographic locations. To overcome this challenge, all partners at Southern Air are empowered to question and/or stop work if “At Risk” behavior or conditions exist at any work site. We view feedback as a critical step in changing unsafe practices and attitudes.

Our vision is your personal well-being will become a core value. Assessing risk before taking action will become a way of life at work and at home, 24/7.
