Safety at Work
Our “GOAL ZERO” Safety culture is centered around our commitment to Zero injuries and Zero incidents.
Strawser Construction Inc. is recognized by our customers and our industry for excellent manufacturing and construction practices that put us above the rest.
We want to be recognized for our safe operations, proven safety programs, and technical innovations. Becoming an incident-free, injury-free workplace requires more than programs, policies and technology-it requires a company-wide culture and personal commitment from every employee to put safety into the forefront of their thinking. At Strawser Construction Inc., we ask every employee to make that commitment to themselves, their co-workers and their families.
That’s the message of “GOAL ZERO”, a company-wide initiative that establishes a safety target for SCI employees. We are aiming for ZERO – ZERO incidents and ZERO injuries. This is a philosophy we follow on a daily basis and integrate into every work practice. Every employee from top management to our newest employee understands their responsibility and will be accountable to work safely and promote safety at all times.
Employee Training
Strawser Construction Inc. prides itself on maintaining a properly trained workforce. Year after year, we not only provide the mandated minimum amounts of safety training, but also give our employees the chance to go above and beyond the training that is required. We are proud of the fact that nearly ALL of our workers have been trained in first aid and CPR by certified instructors.
We also offer our employees:
- Continued training programs
- Weekly, on-site “Toolbox Talks” involving foremen and their crews
- Timely presentations on special topics
- Job Safety Analysis
Our company-wide dedication to cultivating a safer work environment has proved invaluable over the course of the last several years. As a company, our rate of injuries per 100 workers has steadily declined as our focus on safety has increased. We are committed to continuing this trend going forward.
One of the most effective tools for reducing workplace injuries and increasing our employees’ focus on safety is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA). By having our workforce complete JSAs, they are actively involved in assessing risks and eliminating potential injury threats.
As a company, our ultimate goal is to reduce injury risk to a level as low as reasonably possible. JSAs are one of the tools we use in striving for this goal.
