Training - We have a customized new employee safety training program that all of our employees are required to undergo before they can start working on any of our job sites. As our employees advance and are promoted to higher levels within the organization, they are also required to take additional safety classes that are commensurate with their field responsibilities. All of our field supervisors, for example, are Cal-OSHA 10 hour certified as well as CPR and First Aid certified. Finally, we also perform bi-weekly safety tailgate meetings and hold special safety meetings to address new safety issues that may arise during the year.

Enforcement and Incentives - We believe that training must be combined with enforcement and proper incentives to truly create a culture of safety. To achieve this goal, we have implemented a comprehensive disciplinary process for safety violations in the field. Each time our field supervisors arrive at a job site, their first priority is to evaluate the safety conditions of our working area and of our employees. Any deficiencies are noted and cited and the deficiency is immediately corrected. We have also implemented a workplace safety incentive program through our Safety Pays bonus program. This program encourages all employees to look out for each other as they all have the opportunity to directly benefit from the safety of their peers.
