Workplace Safety at Frazer
At Frazer we are absolutely committed to safety. We strive not only to improve our safety and our environment every day, but also challenge ourselves to incorporate safety into every aspect of what we do. We don’t just want to build the safest, most reliable EMS vehicles on the market, we also want to do it in the safest way possible.
Bringing Safety in the Workplace to New Levels
Our focus on safety and our determination to raise that bar every day adds value across the enterprise. A broadened culture of safety awareness keeps our people engaged in building a safe company and opens their minds to potential developments in improving a safe product.
Employee Involvement
Frazer’s commitment to safety is built on involvement, communication, and accountability across the entire organization. Safety is a shared responsibility, and every team member plays a role in maintaining a safe and proactive work environment.
Our VPP Committee brings together safety-focused employees from across the company to strengthen communication, support new safety initiatives, address concerns, and develop practical solutions. Departments reinforce this commitment through daily morning huddles focused on safety topics, hazard awareness, and prevention.
Employees further support our safety culture by identifying hazards, participating in self-audits, and continuously improving work practices and workplace conditions.
Safety also remains a priority at our monthly company-wide meetings, where teams discuss updates, concerns, and solutions to help strengthen safety awareness and continuous improvement throughout Frazer.
Hazard Identification
Hazard prevention starts with hazard awareness. At Frazer, we continuously train and encourage employees to identify potential hazards throughout the workplace. By spotting issues early, we can take corrective action quickly, prevent repeat incidents, and maintain a safer environment for everyone. This proactive mindset has driven continuous safety improvements across our facility.
To strengthen employee involvement, Frazer created the “Badge Incentive” Program, which recognizes team members for reporting hazards through our streamlined reporting system. As employees reach new reporting milestones, they earn recognition that reflects their commitment to workplace safety and supporting their fellow team members.
Prevention & Control
Arguably the most important aspect of Frazer’s commitment to Safety is Hazard Prevention. Frazer has many programs to identify and eliminate hazards around the workplace. Each department follows a strategic procedure for controlling hazards and minimizing risks. Hazard Prevention at Frazer consists of the following:
- Regularly and thoroughly maintaining equipment.
- Ensuring that hazard correction procedures are in place.
- Ensuring that everyone knows how to use and maintain personal protective equipment.
- Making sure that everyone understands and follows safe work procedures.
- Monthly Safety Audits in every department
- Ensuring that, when needed, there are medical programs available to help deal with workplace hazards and exposures.
- Ensuring that everyone is properly trained via Safety Skills on all aspects of their role and place of work.

The OSHA Challenge
Frazer is proud to have been accepted into the OSHA Challenge Program. We are currently working towards acceptance into the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). A company that holds VPP status is highly regarded as having an elite status of safety and has made the commitment to having the safest workplace possible. Frazer’s goal is to achieve VPP status, therefore we are continually working with OSHA to solidify a position as one of the “Safety Elite” and achieve VPP status.
