Safety isn’t just a certification—it’s a commitment built over years of work.
D. C. Taylor Co.’s journey to becoming Iowa’s first and only IOSHA VPP STAR mobile worksite began in 2018. Over seven years, our team worked through 19 rigorous VPP elements, strengthened processes, documented procedures, and - most importantly - put those practices into action across our offices and jobsites.
The result is more than a designation. It’s evidence of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, employee involvement, and our No. 1 core value: safety.
This achievement was made possible by the dedication of our leadership, office staff, and field crews ... and the work doesn’t stop here. We’re applying the same safety principles companywide and looking ahead to additional VPP certifications in the regions where we operate.
