Safety / Site Reviews

Safety is a top priority.

GMS takes safety very seriously.

In addition to carrying a full line of safety products, we also staff a full-time safety professional who works closely with our customers and their general contractors to ensure all safety guidelines are met and that the proper equipment is used when we make deliveries. Some of the safety products we stock for purchase include:

  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Fall protection
  • Jobsite safety supplies

In addition, we perform annual boom inspections for our trucks and conduct full safety and site reviews for our customers. If you have a jobsite that requires specialized or dedicated safety training, let us know and we can help!

Certified Crews

GMS trains and certifies all of its operators through Guardian Fall Protection so that they are prepared to safely deliver materials to your jobsite. We conduct frequent safety meetings to address changes to policies or review upcoming jobs that require special details, and we even offer a safety incentive benefit program for our stockers and warehouse workers. We also regularly perform random drug and alcohol testing on all of our teams. Each one of our employees is trained to:

  • Respond to unsafe conditions
  • Use personal protective equipment
  • Develop safe work practices
  • Recognize safety hazards
  • Follow all established safety rules

It is the practice of our company to make sure all managers and supervisors focus primarily on creating a safe work environment for employees and ensuring that they have received proper training. All of our operators are trained and tested on each piece of equipment prior to operation.
