Mission |
|
|
Our Mission, as an international services organization, is to effectively enhance our customers operating efficiencies by removing, minimizing and managing waste material from their operations. Onyx will accomplish this objective by utilizing proven methods, experienced and qualified people, and innovative technical solutions to solve complex customer issues in a value added approach. |
|
|
Our employees deliver services to both the industrial and municipal markets with safety and quality performance as our primary goal. Our commitment to safety is without compromise. We use state of the art equipment to deliver our services. However, the success of our service delivery is dependent on the quality of our employees. We provide our employees a working environment conducive to achieving technical excellence and professional development. Our employees bring value to our customers by constantly focusing on the most cost effective solution. We insure the success of our approach through team - work, performance-based advancement systems, and a broad resource base at the disposal of each employee. |
|
|
We will conduct our business to the highest standards. Safety, integrity, and quality for our employees, customers, and suppliers will not be compromised. Our business philosophy is entrenched in the concept of mutual respect among our employees, our suppliers and our customers, and build long - term relationships. |
|
|
Our vision is clear. We will develop a broad service portfolio capable of meeting our customers' daily, project and turnaround service needs. We will diligently work toward recognizing our vision by continuously seeking additional services, new technologies, strategic geographic locations and quality people. We want to be a true business partner to our industrial customers. |

|
How we manage our business |
|
|
We believe the greatest value to our customers is the increased productivity and profitability achieved from our innovative applications. We approach each job from a business perspective, with a focus on the immediate and a view to the long term. We work closely with our customers to define and understand their needs and expectations, and then implement a tailored solution that meets all defined requirements. We believe successful relationships are based on clear communications and clear understandings of expectations. |
|
|
We work closely with our customers to identify specific goals and criteria against which performance will be tracked. Our goal is total cost and performance improvement. We can provide our services on a traditional time and material basis, unit price, or on an alternative basis. Either way, an effective tracking system must be utilized. This requires measuring pre-defined key performance indicators, examining the measurement data, identifying Best Practices, implementing "gap closure" plans and communicating the results periodically. |

|
The ONYX safety, health and environmental training curriculum involve classroom orientation and training as well as practical applications.

This insures our people remain informed and knowledgeable with the latest: |

ONYX managers and supervisors are responsible for the safety of operations under their control, and are evaluated according to their safety records and performance. Before an ONYX crew begins work at a customer site, the field crews complete a detailed pre-job hazard/safety analysis. This ensures everyone involved with the project is aware of the safety requirements and is prepared and qualified to operate in a safe manner. |

Every year, ONYX receives many letters of commendation and certificates of performance excellence from its customers. These acknowledgments speak to our commitment to safety performance and operational excellence. |

Perhaps the best award we achieve for our customers comes from our workers compensation insurance carrier -- REDUCED PREMIUMS. |
