Safety is of primary importance in our operations, and AQS is fully committed to our safety policy where both management and staff are dedicated to the principle that accident prevention is an essential part of the planning and efficient execution of every job. AQS believes that, while risks exist:

• Accidents and injuries are preventable.
• Each of us has a personal responsibility for our safety and the safety of others both on and off the job.
• No business objective is so important that it will be pursued at the sacrifice of safety.
• Safe conduct of operations is a condition of employment.
• A job is well done only if it is done safely.

The attitude and efforts of our employees, in conjunction with the policies and procedures in place, have resulted in an excellent safety record. Currently, our EMR is 0.90.
