At Challenge Unlimited, Inc., we sum up our commitment to achieving excellence in the realms of workplace health and safety with one phrase: Safety is our No. 1 Priority. As this phrase indicates, our workplace safety programs begin with the premise that no amount of workplace injuries are acceptable.

At Challenge Unlimited, Inc. there is only one acceptable way to perform job duties: meeting or exceeding the customer’s expectations while maintain a safe working environment and performing in a safe manner.

We take safety seriously and invest heavily in safety training and education for employees and persons receiving services. Managers are required to attend monthly safety training sessions and return to their workers to distribute specific safety information. Employees take an active role in safety awareness. Each worksite maintains a safety committee that meets monthly, all departments hold regular safety meetings, and a team of internal safety inspectors make random visits to all company facilities. The company endeavors to instill the philosophy that safety is the focus of daily job performance among all workers.

At Challenge Unlimited, Inc., safety is everyone’s responsibility. Responsibility for safety includes the practices of total quality management to health and safety issues – prompt reporting of accidents and near misses, precisely investigating accidents, analyzing worker’s compensation claims for trends, establishing reduction goals and timetables, and pursuing those goals through detailed action plans. The company has established a goal to reduce worker’s compensation claims by 30 percent this fiscal year.

Our commitment at Challenge Unlimited, Inc. is to prove that Safety is our No. 1 Priority and related initiatives are not just admirable visions, but achievable realities. Over 45 years, Challenge Unlimited, Inc. has built a solid reputation as a company where ethics and integrity come first. Safety initiatives not only make good ethical and moral sense, but they respond to what our customers demand and our communities expect. This includes operating in a safe manner, leading by example in teaching others how to safely and properly provide services, and providing our employees and persons receiving services with the training and resources to do the right thing.
