Industry-Leading Safety Record The Target Zero philosophy has led to a safety record benchmarked well below the industry average based on the published Bureau of Labor Statistics’ average incidence rates for NAICS code 237990 – —Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. Each of our operations tracks and records the key safety parameters of our activities with the goal to eliminating any incidents throughout the performance of our work. “No job is so important that we cannot take the time to perform it safely!” – Mark Stauffer, President and CEO Attitude We focus on attitude as a key driver in ensuring workplace safety. Our primary targets are front-line operations managers and field and vessel supervisors, the people who have daily contact with field craftsmen, equipment operators, crewmen, and other workers. The basis for supervisor training is leadership development. By fostering a safety conscious attitude, key leaders are able to quickly embrace accident prevention as a formula for reducing the frequency of jobsite accidents. Skill Development Our process for focusing on skill development begins with the hiring process. Orion recruits candidates that have the proper qualifications and inherent ability to perform the required work. Successful recruits undergo a Team Member Development Process to further advance their skills. This process defines the responsibility, accountability, and priority of each team member, with special emphasis on working safely, every project, every day, every task, every time, to achieve zero accidents and injuries. Ongoing training is provided in the areas of safety, leadership, supervision, and project management. Knowledge We make every effort to ensure that employees and their supervisors understand their role in protecting themselves, coworkers, customers, the general public, and the environment against harm. Every employee is empowered to use Stop Work Authority to halt any and all unsafe work activities. Safety Infrastructure Orion’s safety program leadership is tasked with bringing relevant safety issues to the highest level within the organization and building a team to develop, implement, and administer a viable safety process. Each office location has a qualified Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) manager and/or local field safety supervisors and safety representatives to assist in promoting the safety process, programs, and regulatory changes.
