At Cedar Valley Corp., LLC safety is not only good business. Nor is it just a buzz word. We feel a moral obligation to provide every employee a safe work environment, free from recognizable hazards.
We have been rewarded for our commitment to this obligation by achieving lower-than-industry OSHA reportable statistics. While our goal is zero recordable injuries, our daily focus remains on the identification of near misses. By identifying and eliminating those hazards before they cause injury our goal of zero becomes more attainable.
Our company employs a full-time Safety Director. While job safety is a shared responsibility at all levels of the organization, the Safety Director provides training, conducts on-site audits, and provides a formalized system of reporting safety and loss control statistics to company management.

Our policies follow federal regulations for those individuals applying for DOT regulated positions, while state law governs those non-DOT regulated positions. Inquiries regarding specific testing questions should be made to safetydirector@cedarvalleycorp.com.
