Safety Process
Daily
Each day begins with a morning huddle that includes the completion of a Safety Task Analysis. An STA is a systematic process that identifies potential hazards associated with a specific job or task, evaluates their risks, and develops control measures to mitigate those risks, ensuring the safety of workers and minimizing accidents or injuries in the workplace. It involves breaking down the job into steps, analyzing each step for potential hazards, and implementing preventive measures to eliminate or reduce the risks involved.
Weekly
Safety meetings are held by all crews each week. At these meetings, safety topics, procedures, and concerns are discussed. The meetings are led by our OSHA 30 trained supervisors who facilitates the discussion, shares relevant information, and encourages active participation to promote a culture of safety in the workplace.
