Oklahoma Roofing & Sheet Metal’s most valuable asset is its employees. Because of this, Oklahoma Roofing & Sheet Metal wants to provide its employees with a safe and healthy work environment by developing a health and safety policy. In an effort to stay up-to-date and effective, this policy will be modified as the company grows and outside influences, such as regulatory matters require.

Because safety is important to Oklahoma Roofing & Sheet Metal, it demands executive direction. Managers and supervisors will be held as accountable for safety as they are for production, quality, efficiency and profitability. Employees also will be held accountable for following the safe work practices required on each project.

The philosophy of “SAFETY PRODUCTION” has been adopted. An equal balance of safety and production will be maintained; one will not take precedence over the other. 

Oklahoma Roofing & Sheet Metal intends to take a proactive approach to safety, involving safety planning from the initial review of a prospective project to it's completion.
