"Everyone at the Williamstown modification center, from the technicians to managers, shares responsibility for keeping the workplace safe," says Chris Reynolds, Williamstown facility manager. "We have a meeting every morning where we encourage employees to offer their thoughts and suggestions about safety practices. Their input is important because it helps us keep our employee safe, which prevents downtime, improves productivity and lets us better serve our customers. That's why safety is such a priority at Fontaine."
