The following is the most recent fatality data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2009, there was a total of 4,340 work related fatalities in the United States. Of those, 969 of the fatalities were construction workers. 27 construction workers died while on the job in the state of Illinois. That means that right here on our own Illinois soil, we are losing a little over 2 construction workers each month to needless deaths. We don't want that to happen to any of our International Decorators family members and that is why Zero Fatalities is our #1 safety goal.
We have been in business since 1952 and we have never had a work related fataility. This is something that we are extremely proud of and if you are employeed at International Decorators, you should be proud of that also and that should give you confidence in that wev'e got your back. We aren't perfect when it comes to safety, but our goal is to be perfect. Our # 1 safety goal is also preached in our safety mission statement which is: "Everyone Goes Home Alive and in the Same Condition as They Arrived; Your Loved Ones Count On It."
To see a list of our 7 safety goals, please visit our website. You can click on the International Decorator's website link to the right of this article.
