Keeping our work areas clean and free from obstructions or other hazards is a constant practice at Refugio. We also pay keen attention to proper material handling and storage, among other housekeeping tasks. These measures, along with our gated entry and 24/7 surveillance, add up to quality when it comes to site safety and security.
