Safety First: Our Safety Program Motivates, Encourages and Monitors Safe Work Performance Safety is and will always be our number one priority. All of our project teams implement stringent safety practices that exceed the common industry standards to protect everyone on each work site from harm. Team members — including subcontractors — follow the site - specific practices detailed in the project's safety 2014 Experience Modification Ratings One of the most important indicators of our safety performance is our current EMR, providing ample proof of our care and commitment to sending our employees home SAFE each and every day. Average / At Risk A SAFE Good plan and participate in training and on -site safety meetings to enhance their understanding of safety issues and procedures. Our safety programs also implement best practices to ensure the local community is kept safe. From pedestrians and motorists to working crews and inspectors, we work hard to make sure "Nobody Gets Hurt." Our outstanding safety record shows the effectiveness of the safety culture and approach adopted by all team members. We focus on the belief that accidents happen because someone did not understand he was working in an unsafe manner, or was not concerned whether or not he worked safe. Our approach to safety focuses on addressing these two root causes of accidents by placing substantial emphasis on training all personnel to know what hazards were present and what precautionary steps needed to be implemented; and by caring about every team member and focusing on the importance of safety and the personal loss when someone gets hurt. The following programs are the core of our safety approach and motivating everyone to work safe: Creating a "Zero Tolerance" Safety Culture We have moved beyond standard industry safety practices based on OSHA recordable incidents. Our project teams embrace a "zero tolerance" policy that records all hurts (not just OSHA recordable incidents) and focuses on eliminating the behaviors that can lead to them. All new employees are trained in this "Nobody Gets Hurt" safety program and informed about site - specific hazards before being allowed to begin work. They are then monitored for adherence to safety practices and general safety attitude during a 30 -day period. Staff members are also expected to never to walk by an unsafe act or situation without stopping and taking action to fix it. These safety issues and appropriate best practices are discussed at weekly safety meetings and at the "Play of the Day" meetings that plan the next day's work. Hazard Recognition and Avoidance Historically, 50% of accidents are caused by hazards not identified by supervisors or the crew. We have enhanced our existing Job Hazard Analysis program by increasing the focus and training on recognizing and communicating potential hazards to all team members. These training programs also focus on increasing crew participation and improving the supervisors' presentation of the JHA to their crews.
