Safety

At VRC Protx our safety credo is “NOBODY GETS HURT.” VRC Protx is very proud of the culture of safety we created in our company along with our excellent safety record. We provide extensive safety training for all of our technicians annually. This consists of training on all of the following topics. Each of our crews holds a Job Safety Analysis meeting each morning before any work is started where a safe work plan and a fall protection plan are discussed along with a personal protective equipment review performed. All of these actions are documented daily. Each of our technicians are empowered to stop any unsafe situation using a stop work authority action until the unsafe condition can be resolved to the satisfaction of our employee and the customer representative. You can be sure when a VRC Protx crew is performing a service engagement at your facility that you will be provided the most skilled, safety conscious technicians in the industry.
