A Culture of Safety.
At General Pump Company, safety is not a priority that competes with productivity — it is the foundation every job is built on. Every employee. Every site. Every day.
Six Pillars of
Our Safety Culture.
GPC operates under a Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) Management Program — a whole-of-company effort empowering every employee to own their safety and the safety of those around them.
Assess the Culture
Regularly conduct safety audits from third-party providers and new leaders to validate a healthy safety culture across the company.
Teach & Train
A culture of continuous learning that involves every employee at every level — from field crews to the executive team.
Encourage Participation
Every employee is a safety officer. Anyone can stop work due to an observed or potential unsafe situation — there is no such thing as a bad safety idea.
Enforce Awareness
Balance individual accountability with personal empowerment — holding people responsible for what they do and fail to do, while giving them ownership of their own safety.
Lead from the Top
Bottom-up empowerment is no substitute for top-down leadership — including the provision of tools and training that employees request.
Continuous Improvement
Never satisfied. Always striving to be safer by updating training programs, upgrading equipment, and incorporating lessons learned from every incident.
People. Processes.
Technology.
Our safety implementation follows a deliberate, sequenced approach — starting with our people, building strong processes around them, and equipping them with the best available tools.
People
GPC employs a dedicated, full-time EHS Professional — a role that has driven measurable improvements in safety culture, training programs, and incident management. We believe investing in the right people is the foundation of any safety program.
Processes
Our EHS team is responsible for establishing industry-aligned standards, providing proper protective equipment and training, measuring outcomes consistently, and applying fair and transparent consequences for safety failures — without creating a culture of fear.
Technology
Processes and people are supported by best-in-class technology. We centralize reporting, monitoring, and evaluation in a single platform so leadership has full visibility into safety performance across every location — in real time.
