Safety
first, last, always.
EMR 0.41 places us in the top decile nationally. TRIR 0.84 trails industry by half. The numbers come from a culture: daily stand-downs, weekly tool-box talks, quarterly third-party audits, no-blame near-miss reporting, stop-work authority for everyone on site.
- SAF-01
Daily safety stand-down
Every project · every morning · 10 minutes. Pre-task hazard analysis, JSA review, daily focus topic. Held by superintendent + foremen. Documented.
- SAF-02
Weekly tool-box talks
Friday morning · 30-45 min · craft-specific topics. Rotating presenters from the field. Translated for Spanish-first crews where needed. Attendance logged.
- SAF-03
Quarterly third-party audit
Independent safety auditor on every active project quarterly. Written findings returned to project lead within 5 business days. Open findings tracked to closure on shared dashboard.
- SAF-04
Near-miss reporting · no blame
Anonymous, no-blame reporting. ~340 near-misses / yr across the program · driven up by encouragement, not down by suppression. Each one analyzed; pattern findings shape future trainings.
- SAF-05
Stop-work authority · everyone
Every worker — apprentice through superintendent — has stop-work authority. No retaliation. Last quarter: 22 stops issued; 3 led to procedure changes that prevented likely incidents.
- SAF-06
Annual safety bonus · all-hands
Annual safety bonus tied to program-wide EMR + recordable rate. All-hands eligibility — apprentices through executives. 2025 paid; 2026 on track.
