    • Management

At The Davey Tree Expert Company, safety is an expectation that employees, managers, businesses and even clients expect when they do business with the 100+ year-old company.

On this episode of No Accident, presented by TRUCE, host Kathleen Finato talks to Joseph Tommasi, who has been in the environmental and landscaping industry for over four decades. Today, Joseph is Vice President of Davey’s Corporate Safety division.

Joseph knows the risks that Davey’s field workers — who work high up with cutting tools near electrical power sources — face, firsthand. Yet his role goes beyond protecting each worker. He believes that investing in safety ensures not only the wellbeing of Davey’s workforce. It ensures the company’s success because it helps protect important capital for the company..

“Our most important asset is our people,” says Joseph. “We need to protect that asset, which means we look after them, and they look after each other.”

Tune in to learn how investing in safety promotes larger business interests, why Joseph believes you can’t manage a safety program through regulation alone, as well as the changes he’s observed over a 40-year career in safety.
