We don't build buildings. We buids relationship.
It is our policy to provide a safe work place with the prevention of incidents recognized at all times. All our employees are expected to work on our jobs in a safe manner. The elimination of injuries and illness to employees and the public, and damage to property and the environment are equally as important as any other part of the safety program. Therefore, work must be performed in a safe manner to control all hazards.
Effectiveness of the Safety and Loss Prevention Program will depend upon the active participation of management and the complete cooperation of both supervisors and employees. Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety program in the best interest of all be successful.
Our objective, therefore, is a Safety and Loss Prevention Program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum, not merely in keeping with, but surpassing, the best experience of operations similar to ours.
Our goal is zero accidents and injuries.
