Employee Safety

All prospective employees must undergo a pre-hire fit-for-duty physical and pre-employment drug screening, to include a hair follicle test. Once the pre-hire process is completed, the employee undergoes New-Hire Safety Orientation. Various training is conducted by the Safety Department, Managers, and Supervisors. We truly believe that all incidents are preventable and conduct thorough incident investigations to prevent reoccurrence. Our near-miss reporting program also assists in incident prevention. Every employee has STOP WORK authority should a hazardous situation arise.

The Focus 4 initiative was created after identifying trends in the root cause of most incidents. Employees know to focus for safety when one or more of these situations arise:

Focus 4

When you’re tired
When you’re backing a vehicle
When you’re working at night
When you’re in a hurry

In the winter of 2017, we began conducting Situational Awareness Training. This training focuses on different hazardous situations that could happen at any time while conducting work. It raises awareness and teaches employees how to react if a situation like this were to occur in the field.
