Safety, planning keep Willamette employees protected
Kim Lowry, director of member services for Associated Builders and Contractors Pacific Northwest chapter, recalls how impressed she was to learn in the spring of 2020 that Willamette Construction Services already had a Pandemic Response Plan as part of its company safety program.
“While many companies were struggling to make jobsite safety adjustments, communicate with their staff and were searching for more PPE, Willamette Construction Services was able to roll out the pandemic plan they had and keep moving forward,” she said.
Safety Manager David Culwell was the driving force behind the company’s prompt response to the pandemic as well as its overall safety culture. Its safety- and environment-first philosophy ensure that Willamette Construction Services exceeds all asbestos, lead and mold abatement industry regulatory standards and best practices. Its in-house experts are certified and licensed in abatement for not only asbestos, lead and mold, but also polychlorinated biphenyls and other toxic and hazardous materials.
