This Quarter’s Safety Award Winners
At Empire Roofing, safety is more than a priority—it’s a core value that guides everything we do. Each quarter, we take time to recognize and celebrate employees who go above and beyond to ensure not only their own safety, but the safety of their teammates, clients, and job sites. These individuals are nominated by their peers for their outstanding dedication and example in the field.
For this quarter, we are proud to honor five exceptional employees: Jose Villegas, Ernesto Flores, Luis Carrillo, Hugo Picón, and Pablo Medina
