Safety

Safety is a high priority for Qualis management and employees. Qualis management encourages employees to actively participate in safety training and events, and presents “Safety Awards” to employees who make special contributions to workplace safety. You can review the Qualis Safety Manual to review our safety policies. Many of our customers have also recognized Qualis for our high safety standards:

NASA Level 1 Safety Award
NASA awarded Qualis’ Materials Testing for Aerospace Environments (MTAE) contract a NASA Level 1 Safety Award for achieving consistently excellent evaluations in four safety elements:

• management commitment and employee involvement
• system and worksite hazard analysis
• hazard prevention and control
• safety and health training

In addition to achieving and maintaining an average score of 90% (≥ 36 out of 40 cumulatively) for at least one year, the Level I award requires NO lost-time injuries for the MTAE contract during that year. The MTAE contract, with the ICRC / Qualis team, has achieved more than 500,000 work hours without a lost-time injury.
