Safety Program
Mesa's safety awards program provides incentives for a safe working environment and safe behavior and choices by employees.
Safety Personnel
Mesa's Quality Control Manager evaluates Mesa's warehouse and factory equipment to ensure safety.
Drug Free Workplace (DFWP)
To encourage a safe workplace for all Mesa employees, the company is enrolled in a DFWP through an outside provider. The provider holds onsite seminars to educate all employees on the dangers of using drugs, especially in the workplace. Other employees are deemed supervisors in the program and are responsible for participating in "refresher" courses to stay current on the methods used to deal with drug-related issues.
Smoking Cessation Program
Mesa's cessation program encourages employee health by helping them find the resources to quit. Mesa funds this program with an allowance offered on a lifetime basis. Employees are eligible for $500 to meet the expenses of an outside program designed to help them break this addiction.
Mesa has established a formal safety program throughout its facilities. Through a concerted effort between the Quality Control Manager and Human Resources Manager, employees can be assured that their safety and well-being has been carefully taken into consideration. Prior to establishing an official Safety Program, Mesa has included safety benefits to employees, such as a drug free workplace program (DFWP) and smoking cessation program. With the establishment of the Safety Program, Mesa has taken more aggressive steps to ensure safe working conditions, such as forklift training certification, hazardous material certification, eye wash stations, emergency evacuation plans, employee attendance tracking and building maintenance. Any accidents are logged within the Safety Program. Staff are rewarded for each month and ultimately, each year during which no accidents occur. Each month without an accident, lunch is provided and prizes are raffled off to employees. At the end of 2011, Mesa will raffle a grand prize to employees based on the success of the Safety Program and may consider expanding criteria for measuring its success.
