OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
We take safety seriously using a three pronged approach.
Individual Responsibility
Safety starts with each of us. Which is why we reward individuals for keeping themselves and others safe. We encourage everyone to participate fully in the safety of each project.
Team Work
We view safety as not just an individual mandate but a team mandate as well. To encourage each team to keep an eye out for eachother we provide group safety incentives, to each team that has a clean safety record, each quarter.
Planning Ahead
Planning ahead is key to keeping everyone safe. That is why we have safety meetings every week to discuss future activities and double check our safety plan for those activities.
100% Safety Commitment
