Our Team

Kristy Barnes

Environmental Health and Safety Manager
Employed in the industry since: 2017

"The main priority of the EHS Manager is to ensure that all employees, vendors and guests walk out of the building the same way they walked in; happy, healthy and injury free. Creating a safe working environment for our employees ensures that each home is built by engaged and focused employee’s. We want vendors and guests to feel and be safe as they tour the plant and know that their safety and the safety of our employees is our number one priority. Being ISO 14001 Certified also lets the customer know that Clayton cares about the environment and is doing everything we can to protect our environment by reducing waste and saving energy."
