Safety Matters
At J&J safety is a core value. We prioritize the well-being of employees and clients alike, creating a secure work environment through training, technology, and best practices. Our commitment: zero accidents, injuries, incidents. Building a safer tomorrow, together.
Safety Policies and Procedures
At J&J safety is at the forefront of everything we do. Our comprehensive safety policies and procedures are carefully developed and continuously improved to ensure the highest standards of safety on every project.
Below is an outline of how we approach safety
Development
Our safety policies are crafted by a team of experienced safety professionals, in collaboration with supervisors and subject matter experts.
We closely monitor and adhere to state and federal safety regulations, industry standards, and best practices.
Regular reviews and updates to policies are conducted to stay current with emerging safety trends and technologies.
Training and Education
We invest in robust safety training programs to equip employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate hazards.
Training sessions cover topics such as proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), equipment safety, fall protection, confined spaces, and excavation and trenching.
Safety Inspections and Audits
Regular safety inspections and audits are conducted to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance with safety protocols.
Issues are promptly addressed, and corrective actions are implemented to prevent recurrence.
Incident Reporting and Investigation
We have a transparent and confidential incident reporting system in place, encouraging prompt reporting of near-misses, accidents, and injuries.
All incidents are thoroughly investigated to determine root causes, enabling us to implement preventive measures.
Communication
Safety policies and procedures are communicated clearly and effectively to all employees, from top management to the construction crew.
New hires receive safety orientation and training before commencing work.
Toolbox talks, safety meetings, and ”Take-5” huddles are held regularly to reinforce safety practices and address site-specific concerns.
We host pre-construction meetings with subcontractors to make sure safety expectations are understood and agreed upon before mobilization.
Site-Specific Safety Plans
Each project is unique, and we develop site-specific safety plans to address the particular risks and challenges associated with the location and scope of work.
Safety plans are communicated to all team members, subcontractors, and relevant stakeholders before work begins.
Accountability and Enforcement
We foster a culture of accountability, where everyone is responsible for their safety and the safety of others.
Non-compliance with safety policies is not tolerated, and appropriate disciplinary measures are taken when necessary.
Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to safety goes beyond compliance; we strive for continuous improvement.
Feedback from employees, clients, and safety experts is actively sought and incorporated into our safety practices.
By adhering to these comprehensive safety policies and procedures, we create a safe working environment where everyone can focus on delivering exceptional results without compromising on safety. At J&J, we believe that safety is a shared responsibility, and together, we ensure the well-being of our workforce and clients.
