Our safety training provides a safety culture. The program consists of a written plan, meeting inspections, and supervisor training to build a strong safety culture. Every manager and supervisor is instructed to understand the true costs of accidents, how those costs impact their jobs and the company, production vs. safety, and a building of a safety culture. Each member of supervision then implements S.T.A.R.T. and the cascading effect builds a common understanding of and commitment to safety for the entire organization. The S.T.A.R.T. program is enhanced by our Safety incentive plan.
Employees earn incentive awards based on the number of hours safely worked.
All Hourly Field and Shop Employees up through and including General Foremen with no minimum service time. Each hour you work without an accident, you will earn 8 points. For each overtime hour worked without an accident, you will also earn 8 points. If you have an OSHA recordable accident or chargeable vehicle accident anytime during the quarter, you forfeit all points for that quarter. All previous award points remain valid.
