BREAKING NEWS | WIS Receives Cal OSHA Golden Gate Recognition Award

May 11, 2009- Corona, CA

WIS is both pleased and proud to have been recognized by the Cal / OSHA Consultation Service for its effort in implementing and maintaining an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program, thereby earning the Golden Gate Partnership Recognition.

WIS earned this recognition after the careful review of its written safety and health programs and its commitment to continuously improve the effectiveness of its workplace safety and health management system as demonstrated during the onsite audit performed by a Cal / OSHA consultant.

Cal/OSHA has long recognized the need to find innovative approaches to improving occupational safety and health practices in the industry. Cal/OSHA was the first agency in the nation to develop what is now called the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), a program that specifically relies on the efficiencies gained by management, worker, and government cooperation to improve workplace safety and health. The Golden Gate award is a preliminary step before a site engages in the process to be a part of the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which is a leadership recognition level for companies that have highly effective safety and health management systems.

In addition to supporting the continuous improvement of company health and safety programs, participation in Cal / OSHA’s partnership programs provides the following benefits:

Reduction in injuries and illnesses
Lower worker's compensation costs
Improvement in employee motivation
Higher quality and productivity
Community recognition as an industry leader and as a quality employer
Increased job referrals and bid acceptance

WIS is one of the few, if not the only company in the industry who has obtained this recognition and while proud of this milestone, WIS intends to continue its efforts to become an industry leader in safety and earn the highest level of recognition by pursuing the Cal/VPP Construction Program Partnership Recognition.
