National Safety Month 2021 - A word from our CEO

featured in Community, Recycling, Team, and Facilities

At Meridian Waste, the word SAFETY is a verb. Much to the mortification of my elementary school English teacher, I want all of our team members to embrace SAFETY as an action—something we DO every day with every task to ensure you protect your body, your health, and those of your peers, customers, and the greater community.

SAFETY is to be an everyday occurrence led by you. SAFETY is our way of doing the right thing each day, every time. Don’t wait—ACT! Make everyone around you accountable for a safe, healthy workplace. We all have a vital role in protecting the welfare of each other and our customers.

No one team member gets a pass from being diligent to take action to identify, report and/or fix a situation that may cause harm. Our Meridian Waste team members are our work family, and we all have the responsibility to protect one another regardless of title, position, location, or work environment.

I may be upsetting Mrs. Harris, my 5th grade teacher, with my deviation from the English rule book, but in the case of saving a life, a finger, or preventing a cut, bruise, or bad back, I say this rule is meant to be broken.

SAFETY is a verb!

Walter “Wally” Hall, Jr.
Chief Executive Officer

June is National Safety Month.
