Customer Safety
Omineca Industrial’s unwavering commitment to safety not only complies with industry regulations, but also fosters an environment of trust and confidence among stakeholders.
We commit to assembling new equipment and machinery at your site to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Specifications as our minimum acceptable standard. Our skilled tradespeople deliver a superior level of quality in their installations and repairs. The durability and longevity of our work means our customers experience fewer breakdowns and malfunctions and less maintenance overall. Ultimately, this contributes to a safer workplace by reducing the likelihood of injuries occurring due to malfunctioning equipment or during the hazardous repair process.
Environmental Safety
We respect the ethical obligation to protect the air, land, and watersheds of the communities we serve. Strict limits and controls are set on any activities that could be potentially polluting. Ensuring that our employees have knowledge of the safe handling and disposal requirements of the chemicals they use in the course of their duties, enables our crews to work without causing undue environmental harm.
At Omineca Industrial, we recognize that environmental safety increasingly means protecting our employees from the environment as much as it means protecting the environment from potentially impactful operations. To that end, we have developed health and safety procedures, which are reviewed regularly, addressing how we can perform our work safely in extreme heat, cold, smoke, and wildfire conditions.
