The Human Side of Safety Many construction workers believe their employers are more concerned about the statistics than the individuals who are injured. A company's focus on the number of accidents or accident frequency rates reinforces this common belief, sending the wrong message and hindering the effectiveness of a safety program. Our safety training and communication highlights the "why" we all work accident free. The message emphasizes that non -work reasons such as family and friends are the most important motivators for safe work behavior. When these true reasons become part of the project's safety focus, a new awareness and success usually follow. Quality Focus: Building it Right the First Time Kiewit has been a primary participant in pioneering what is now the industry standard for quality programs. Our strong corporate quality culture places a premium on delivering high quality, long- lasting projects that reduce the overall life cycle costs for our owners. We recognize that our project owners expect and deserve a high - quality product, and our reputation is built on delivering on that expectation. Our philosophy for achieving that quality expectation in all we do is to simply "Build it right the first time." The QA /QC plan is the basis of the entire program and starts with the development of a project specific plan. As part of this plan, we define each quality and testing requirement, testing and frequency of inspection for field operations, as well as identifying specific hold points for self- inspection before proceeding to the next step. We also identify each task or component requiring specific QA or QC analysis for risk management and contract compliance. The procedures, which are specific to the project, define the purpose, scope and steps to follow to complete each process and are reviewed regularly to ensure effectiveness. Our Quality Manager will prepare a project- specific Contractors Quality Control Plan (CQC Plan) as part of our project start -up. The CQC Plan will set forth various specific procedures to ensure the quality of construction. However, our overall process can be summed up in these three steps: "Plan it. Build it. Check it." Plan It. The only way to achieve success on every operation is to carefully plan the work. Prior to the start of any construction activity, our superintendents and engineers will be involved in detailed planning to ensure the craft understand exactly what they are building, the requirements that must be followed, and the critical quality elements. We will make certain that the work is executed in a controlled manner by requiring that all operations be compliant with an approved, written work plan. The work plans will be researched, planned, reviewed, approved, executed, monitored and revised as necessary. To obtain the desired product, the work plans will be extremely detailed and prescriptive in the procedures to be followed, specifying: 4 A summary of the materials, equipment, labor, permits, traffic control, and other key elements that are needed for the operation.
