Our safety philosophy is simple but powerful: every accident is preventable. Every member of the GRP|WEGMAN team is empowered to stop work if they identify a potential hazard. This Stop Work Authority is a cornerstone of our safety program, ensuring that issues are addressed before they become risks. Employees at all levels are trained to prioritize their safety and that of their coworkers, fostering a culture of accountability and care.
