It is the policy of Air Control Engineering to strive
for the highest safety standards on all of our projects
and to put safety above all other goals. Safety does
not occur by chance. It is the result of careful attention
to all Company operations by those who are directly and
indirectly involved. Employees at all levels must work
diligently to execute the Company’s policy of maintaining
safety and occupational health.
Our safety program has been developed to assure compliance
with federal, state and local regulations with particular
emphasis on the OSHA requirements that apply to our construction
operations. It is the obligation of all employees to
be knowledgeable of the standards established by these
agencies,
and to implement the rules and regulations contained
herein on projects under their direction. It is Air Control
Engineering’s
responsibility to provide our employees with the resources
they need to accomplish our mission to provide a safe
work environment.
Regard for the safety of the general public, our own employees
and the employees of our subcontractors is a supreme responsibility
of all levels of our organization. We intend to prevent
any human suffering. Accidents, even minor ones, cause
pain, both physical and mental. Prevention of injury and
illness is a goal well worthy of our achieving.
Our company has developed a basic safety
and accident program that is followed on all projects
regardless of
size. This system evolved with the cooperation of our
insurance carrier and the Associated Builders and Contractors,
and is based upon our experience and knowledge of construction
and the recommendations provided by the advisors. The
program’s
primary thrust is to anticipate and control marginal
safety acts and conditions which may exist during each
job function.
As policy, it is required that all supervisory personnel
at each operation establish sound, definite and comprehensive
safety measures commensurate with work being done. Our
job superintendent must, at the very beginning of the job,
personally inform every foreman of safety requirements,
and be constantly alert to enforce these regulations. Supervisors
at all levels are required to vigorously enforce our program
to ensure safety experiences that reflect gainfully during
the progress of work for the welfare of our employees and
the owner. Some of the features of our comprehensive program
are:
