Promoting Safety with Site - Specific Safety Plans <br />and Hazard Analyses. Our site - specific safety <br />plans are tailored to each project to address all <br />aspects of safety goals At the core of our daily <br />tools that support our safety program is the Job <br />Hazard Analysis, which is prepared for every <br />project task or work package. It serves as a useful <br />tool to help ensure the safety and health of <br />personnel and the public, maintain compliance <br />with OSHA hazards assessment requirements <br />and the Personal Protective Equipment Standard. <br />The JHA is not just an administrative exercise; it <br />is a practice implemented by safety managers <br />and team leaders. They are used to brief project <br />personnel on the type and degree of hazards <br />expected before each operation. In return, <br />personnel understand the means they will use <br />to safeguard themselves from any potential <br />hazards. We hold our subcontractors to the same <br />level of accountability; they are contractually <br />required to comply with the same safety program <br />requirements as our Kiewit employees. <br />Supervisor Training and Involvement <br />Supervisors are the key to safe operations. Without them, none of the safety goals can be realized. Due to <br />their critical role, we provide training to all supervisors on the key elements of supervising safe operations, <br />including increased involvement in safety planning and effective communication to their crews. <br />Craft Participation and Involvement <br />Our safety approach also includes having craft personnel actively involved in the program. Safety <br />awareness, training, and empowerment assist the craft to help each other work safely. Through their <br />participation and implementation of the best safety practices, craft have a voice in the safety plan. <br />Performance Measurement <br />Many construction companies measure their safety performance solely on the number of accidents or <br />accident frequencies. This sole focus on accidents fails to measure how safe a crew member is working. <br />Instead of measuring accidents, we measure certain safety leading indicators and focus on crews practicing <br />the right safety behaviors. When possible, crews receive safety incentive awards for consistently "doing the <br />right thing." <br />MKiewit Construction of the North Bay Road Pedestrian Emergency Bridge I No. 14 -09 -01 <br />
