Safety on the Job

It is the policy and practice of Chism Brothers Painting to provide every reasonable protection of our clients' homes and our employees while painting, sanding, stripping and refinishing. Every Chism Brothers employee participates in ongoing training in safety and housekeeping practices. We maintain high standards of air quality, protect all interior furnishings and surfaces, and use guards and protective devices to safeguard our employees.

Our clients trust Chism Brothers to maintain the highest safety standards in their home, a privilege we take very seriously.

It is the policy of Chism Brothers Painting that everything reasonably possible will be done to protect our employees from accidents and injuries while on the job.
