Committed to a Zero Accident Workplace is not just a convenient, politically correct slogan. It is a covenant. We are proud to live by this core philosophy both off and on site every day. From concept to completion, from management to work crew – we make this responsibility our priority. That is why we continually strive to infuse our commitment to safety into the very core of each of our disciplines.
The value of a safe workplace can never be fully measured, but the alternative can be devastating on many levels. Governed by a proven protocol, we define accountability up front and plan ahead for foreseeable safety challenges using the following practices:
- Safety Directors report directly to the Executive Management
- Only highly-educated and well experienced Field Safety Supervisors are placed on site
- A detailed analysis and specific pre-task plans initiate each project
- Site-specific safety manuals are introduced and updated as needed
- Project safety audits and on-site support meetings are regularly scheduled
- Evaluation and ongoing monitoring of workplace practices are conducted
- A comprehensive substance abuse policy is rigorously enforced
At STEVENS, our commitment to being accident-free on projects drives each task and every management decision – eventually benefiting all those involved.
