On a weekly basis, we have a "Tool Box Safety
Meeting", these safety meetings provides information, regulations, and processes
on various topics to keep us and others around safe from harm. Our safety education consists of three phases initial indoctrination, continued safety education, and HM² representatives and hazard analysis. We find that
safety meeting and continuing education, plays an important role in and out of
the field. Our safety plan also contains all OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Administration) approved material and certifications in
compliance with their standards.
Across all project locations, our training remains the same. Our
craftsmen serve 5 years in their respective apprenticeship programs in both the
field and in the classroom. The Union also provides a number
of continuing education courses, that a journeyman and apprentice alike
can take increase safety.
These safety meetings also address specific plans, schematics, documents,
and other material used for different equipment and vehicles. This includes
lift plans for using cranes for loading and offloading of equipment, Lock-Out
Tag-Out. We also include the system of operations when severe weather approaches.
These Safety Meetings and Training Programs distinguish our company
from the rest, because of our initiative and prepare our employee’s for the
unexpected.
