365 days. Zero recordable incidents.

Werres Corporation has reached 12 months accident and recordable-free, a milestone that reflects disciplined safety practices and strong teamwork across the organization. Safety at Werres is not a short-term initiative. It is a daily operating standard reinforced through clear processes, accountability, and continuous improvement.

This achievement represents the consistent, behind-the-scenes efforts of our teams working together to reduce risk, follow standardized work, and support one another in maintaining safe operations. Every role and every location contributes to building a culture where safety comes first.

Safety Driven by Raymond Lean Management (RLM)

Our safety performance is closely aligned with our ongoing Raymond Lean Management (RLM) journey and pre-certification efforts. RLM provides the structure that allows safety to be built directly into daily work rather than treated as a separate program.

Key focus areas include:

• Standardized service department workflows to reduce variability and risk
• 5S organization and Shine schedules that support clean, predictable workspaces
• Visual controls that clearly reinforce safety standards and expectations
• Empowering employees to stop work, raise concerns, and address abnormalities early

These practices support proactive safety and help teams identify and resolve issues before they escalate.

A Culture of Teamwork and Accountability

Reaching 12 months accident and recordable-free is the result of collective effort. Safety performance like this depends on teamwork, trust, and consistent execution. Technicians, managers, and support teams all play a role by following standards, reinforcing expectations, and speaking up when something does not look right.

Just as important is a culture that encourages employees to slow down when needed and prioritize doing the job safely and correctly. That shared responsibility is what makes long-term safety performance sustainable.

Continuing the Momentum

This milestone builds on the progress Werres celebrated earlier this year when the company marked over six months recordable-free. Each step forward reinforces the importance of discipline, standardized work, and continuous improvement as part of our safety culture.

While we are proud of reaching 12 months accident and recordable-free, safety is not a finish line. We remain committed to our RLM journey and to continuously improving the systems and behaviors that protect our people every day.
