WSFP Albuquerque Awarded ASA Platinum Membership

The American Subcontractors Association (ASA) of New Mexico awarded platinum level membership to the Western States Fire Protection Co. (WSFP) – Albuquerque office. The ASA Safety and Health Initiative PartnerSHIP is the first subcontractor-only partnership with the State OSHA in the U.S.

The recognition allows the Albuquerque office to reach the highest level of accolades within other safety and health associations.

“The entire office and field staff helped create a culture where safety is everyone’s responsibility,” said WSFP Regional Safety Manager Brian Mesmer.

The Albuquerque office sends special thanks to its Superintendent Dave Rogers, Area Manager Ray Clayton, and Operations Manager Ralph Parks.

Rogers gathers and maintains the records of safety walks at the job site, toolbox discussions, monthly foremen’s meetings, training logs, and safety incentive information.

“Rogers’ organization and commitment to safety were a large part of why we were able to move up in the SHIPmates program,” Mesmer said.

Clayton and Parks continue to support the safety program and help drive safety from the office to the field.

“Thank you to everyone involved,” Mesmer said. “WSFP – Albuquerque truly has developed an excellent safety culture and deserves this great award.”
