Safety Program

Committed to safety.

At Lensing Building Specialties and Architectural Sales, safety is not just a protocol. It’s a commitment we make to every employee, customer and visitor who walks through our doors. We are proud to introduce the Lensing Safety Committee, a cross-functional team focused on promoting company-wide safety and ensuring that our workplace — from offices to warehouses — remains a safe environment for everyone.

The purpose of the Safety Committee is clear: to strengthen our safety culture, protect our people and support full compliance with all industry regulations. A safe workplace is critical to the success of our operations. By taking proactive measures, we can prevent accidents, reduce risk and continue to create a productive and confident workforce.

Share your feedback!

The safety committee welcomes all feedback and suggestions as we strive to incorporate diverse perspectives. To make a suggestion or raise a concern, complete the form below.

Step 1 of 2

How you can play your part in our safety culture.

All team members are encouraged to report a variety of safety events to help us improve our safety culture and maintain the wellbeing of all team members. It starts with being proactive and reporting near misses and good catches, which can help us all prevent future accidents. While these two terms are often confused, we’re here to explain the difference and how you can report them to our Safety Manager.

Good Catch

A good catch is when someone spots and reports a hazard before anything goes wrong.

You notice a loose handrail in the warehouse or a tripping hazard near the loading dock and take steps to fix or report it.

Near Miss

A near miss is an incident that almost caused harm or damage but didn’t.

A pallet of materials tips over but doesn’t fall, or a forklift backs up unexpectedly, but no one is hurt. These close calls are warnings we can learn from.
