Our Safety Program is called the Green Shield, and we have spent our careers developing the polices, procedures and best practices that make up our 6-point program. It all starts with our comprehensive Safety Manual and continues with frequent and consistent touchpoints by our leadership team, field management, and all employees.

SAFETY MANUAL

Each employee receives a copy of our Safety Manual on their first day and the manual is accessible on our field tablets or phones at all times. Our manual is continuously being updated with the latest best practices in the field of safety. 

TRAINING

Safety starts with training. As we bring on new employees, they spend their first day in safety training and do not report to the field until they have passed all tests and been approved by the field management team. All training and certifications required or requested by our employees is completely paid for by the company.

AWARENESS

SAFETY MANUAL

INSPECTIONS

We believe in "out of sight" - "out of mind". That's why we have banners, posters, and decals at all touch points with our employees in the office, yard and on our trucks and equipment. We want to make sure our safety messages and policies stay front and center with each employee at all times.

INSPECTIONS

INSPECTIONS

INSPECTIONS

Our owners and field management team  perform regular inspections of our job-sites to identify any non-compliance, safety violations or potential hazards. Goal #1 is to prevent incidents before they happen by identifying unsafe actions and then sharing those with our employees.

ENFORCEMENT

INSPECTIONS

ENFORCEMENT

In the event we witness or are aware of unsafe practices, we will quickly implement disciplinary action for those responsible up to and including termination of employment. Every employee of the company has the authority to "stand down" if they feel unsafe.

REWARD

INSPECTIONS

ENFORCEMENT

It is important to recognize and reward good safety records and sound safety practices. We track all incidents and behaviors and reward our employees. This includes bonuses, our decal program for hard hats and trucks, and branded apparel and gifts highlighting they are leaders in safety.
