Safety
A Culture of Safety
Safety is where our family culture impacts our business the most. We strive to maintain the safest job sites in the industry by building safety awareness into every part of our business. Our company and all tradespeople who work on our sites daily are part of our vision to have:
• A shared value for safety.
• A shared commitment to safety at all levels throughout the company.
• A belief that it is possible to eliminate all incidents and injuries.
• An environment of authentic care and concern for the workforce.
• An environment where individuals take direct responsibility for their safety and the safety of their co-workers.
• An environment where safety actions are driven by choice and not just from formal compliance of rules.
Minimized risk through planning
We have an obligation to the community, our clients, and everyone on our project sites to maintain a hazard-free environment. When risk is minimized, clients benefit from increased savings and a positive public perception of a project.
Safety training and programming
Training is an integral part of Wilkins McGarry safety culture, ensuring all employees in the field and the office are educated on Wilkins McGarry’s safety policies and equipped with the knowledge to implement these safety practices. We provide safety programming and education for all employees, including internal campaigns and innovative and successful practices to safeguard jobsites and protect workers. Documentation is provided in both Spanish and English.
Project-specific safety planning
Our approach to risk management is through project-specific safety planning. Recognizing that every project is unique, Wilkins McGarry superintendents lead their project teams in the field, with the support or our regional safety director and safety managers. Everyone on a jobsite, including trade partners, is held to the project-specific safety plan. Depending on the size, scope, and complexity of the construction site, the Wilkins McGarry safety team provides the necessary oversight to set a project up for success.
Safety tracking you can see
With Construct PM, project stakeholders can see the status of all safety concerns and corrective actions in real time. When a safety concern is logged, the appropriate party is immediately notified on their mobile device via Construct PM for timely resolution. Hazards and corrective actions identified are entered into the program for analysis. The data can then be trended to proactively identify areas of concern before incidents happen.
