Create a Safe and Healthy Workplace

"Our company is only what our employees are. We really think it's good business to do the right thing for them, to make sure they feel comfortable, that they understand that we want the workplace to be safe, indeed won't tolerate unsafe conditions, same as they shouldn't have to. So it's really a win-win situation for the employees and for us."

Mike Scott, Maine Woods and Millwork
