Safety director emphasizes ‘Safe And Compliant’ core value

The first core value at Heritage Environmental Services is “Safe and Compliant, or Not at All,” and that starts with having an experienced and passionate leader at the head of safety operations.

This year, Jim Mangas joined the Heritage team as director of safety with nearly 20 years of experience. He shared with BIC Magazine how Heritage has built a standout safety culture in the waste industry.

Mangas’ passion for safety began when he served as a firefighter/paramedic and realized first responders were “mostly reacting to something that had happened, [while] safety professionals have the opportunity to get ahead of incidents and make a difference.” This influenced his decision to pursue a career in safety.
