"We have benefited from Preference Personnel’s Safety Consulting
Services since 2001. Anyone would find Vic Jones, Safety Consultant,
professional, knowledgeable, and capable of providing your company

 Attention to safety not only helps protect a business’s most
valuable resource, its people, but it also helps prevent both
personal and financial loss.
As an employer, you are responsible for providing a safe and healthy
work environment for your workers. Addressing safety and health
issues in the workplace saves money and adds value to your business.
Recent estimates place the costs associated with occupational
injuries close to $170 billion–expenditures that come straight out
of company profits.
The
good news is that employers can mostly control
what happens before a work injury occurs.
"Vic's knowledge and
expertise have been valuable assets in reviewing our
safety program as well as assisting us with the
necessary safety training."
