Construction Safety
OUR TOP
PRIORITY: ZERO ACCIDENTS
At Chemsteel, we
take safety seriously. The safety of our workers and
of all personnel involved in our projects is our #1
priority. Backing up this claim is our award-winning
Zero Accidents Safety Policy. The goal of Zero
Accidents is to eliminate all unsafe conditions and
behaviors on each of our sites. Based on the
Construction Industry Institute’s (CII) own Zero
Accident Techniques, Chemsteelʼs policy has proven
effective at minimizing risk and accidents.
It begins with a commitment from top
management to achieve a Zero Accident workplace
through such tactics as 100% safety training. Every
Chemsteel employeeis a trained safety technician. In
addition, the Zero Accidents policy includes
techniques for staffing, subcontractor management,
worker involvement, planning, orientation,
incentives, substance abuse, and accident
and
incident investigations. The program has its own
detailed roadmap for roles and responsibilities as
well as workplace
documentation to assure
compliance and effectiveness.
This safety
commitment and our proven practices have earned us
recognition from the Construction Employers
Association (CEA), The Cleveland Southwest Safety
Council(CSSC), and numerous Project Owner Awards. |
