SAFETY

Our work practices enforce safety and leadership on the jobsite to reduce risk to personnel and equipment at all times.

"Safety first, safety second and safety third!" is our mantra when it comes to safety culture. Our experience working on large rotating machines such as grinding mills & kilns as well as on mobile equipment spans back over a decade. We owe our spotless safety record of Zero LTIs to good practices, training, effective communication and continuous improvement within our organization.

It is our belief that any job can be completed without the risk of injury. Safety leadership in the workplace is valued at the highest level; meaning that we evaluate ourselves on safety performance above the ability to meet scheduling and productivity demands. We complete a comprehensive job site risk analysis and safe work plan prior to beginning any work. These documents are kept on-file and are reviewed to track our safety strategy and performance at each site. Safety-relevant observations and near misses are reported company-wide so that any similar conditions at other jobsites can be mitigated of the safety concern in question.
