At Elite Comfort Solutions in Verona, Mississippi, safety isn’t just a policy – it’s a core part of the culture. Recently, the team proudly celebrated an outstanding milestone: 365 days without a recordable injury.
ECS Verona credits their success to several key efforts, including strong housekeeping practices, routine safety walks, and a culture of accountability where everyone looks out for one another. Team members actively engage in identifying and reporting near-misses, which are reviewed and analyzed to prevent potential incidents.
“We were happy but cautious when we hit the milestone,” said Brandy Abbott, Regional EHS Manager. “Everyone is excited, but we know staying vigilant is key.”
Leaders play a vital role in maintaining diligence and safety success. From recognizing safe behavior on the floor to modeling safe practices, supervisors and managers have created an environment where safety is a shared responsibility.
“A standout example of employee engagement was when a supervisor coached a new forklift driver, reinforcing best practices and building confidence through one-on-one mentoring,” said Brandy.
This safety milestone reflects Verona’s commitment to creating a workplace where team members feel safe, supported, and empowered to prioritize wellbeing.
Congratulations, Verona, on this incredible accomplishment!
