MC Industrial places top priority on safety and we make prevention of accidents a top concern on the job site. Our program is nationally recognized – and our safety statistics prove our program works – with incident rates far below industry averages.
Accountability, disciplinary policies, training, inspections, job-site meetings and reports are all critical parts of our safety program. Our safety goals are to:
• Build each of our projects with zero injuries and accidents
• Have the most highly trained and safest employees in the industry
• Protect life, limb and property
• Eliminate liability risk to our clients and subcontractors as well as to ourselves
Our formal safety program is managed by a dedicated staff, which oversees implementation of safety initiatives at the corporate and regional level. On your job site the Project Manager is responsible for safety compliance, including mandatory safety attire, 100 percent tie-offs for elevated work, bank shoring for trenching work and numerous other elements. Each month, company management reviews safety reports on all jobs.
MC Industrial’s bonus program recognizes employees who work safely.
Policies
MC Industrial’s safety policies are spelled out in detail in our safety manual (available upon request). These policies are continually updated not only to comply with changes in the law but also to address accident causes and hazards as they are identified. Many of our policies exceed WISHA standards.
Employees, supervisors and subcontractors who do not comply with MC Industrial’s safety policies and procedures receive written notice of safety violations with consequences up to and including termination.
Training
All employees undergo continuous safety training through new employee orientations, supervisor safety training, OSHA construction safety training and safety “Toolbox” meetings. Employees are trained in proper use of personal protective equipment and emergency procedures. Supervisors participate both as students and instructors, with specific training topics assigned to each.
Safety on Your Job
Each project utilizes its own comprehensive site-specific safety program that begins with the planning process. MC Industrial’ s safety Risk Manager participates in site construction planning to identify and address safety issues and develop a safety plan that addresses the site’s unique characteristics. We complete a pre-job safety planning checklist.
Our program requires all subcontractors to submit site-specific safety plans. All contractors having labor on-site, including all levels of tier subcontractors, submit the following prior to work:
• Company’s general safety policy
• Hazard communication data including company policy, project-specific material inventory and applicable MSDS information
• Fall protection program.
Comprehensive job site safety inspections occur on a regular basis, including:
• Daily inspections by foremen and safety monitors
• Weekly inspections with written reports by the superintendent and a labor representative
• Unannounced inspections by the Risk Manager at least bi-weekly
• Project director’s safety inspection monthly.
MC Industrial holds foremen crew safety meetings daily. Weekly safety meetings are held with the entire crew. Subcontractors are required to conduct their own on-site safety meetings and have a management representative attend weekly meetings.
