EMERALD CONSTRUCTION SAFETY APPROACH: Emerald and FH Paschen’s safety approach begins with the commitment set forth in our company’s mission statement to be safe, on time, and within budget. We have mandatory bi- monthly safety training for all of our management team to ensure communication, consistency, and ensure we are up to date with the latest safety information. We self perform daily and weekly safety inspections to ensure our jobs are being run safely. In addition, we u se independent safety consultants that perform random inspections and audits to ensure the Emerald Safety Program is being followed. WEEKLY SAFETY MEETINGS: Each job site has a jobsite specific safety program, which is continuously updated as the job safety requirements change. Safety is the first topic for all general contractor and subcontractor meetings, which are performed on weekly basis. HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR PROJECT SAFETY PLAN INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Construction Site Safety Meetings: Construction site safety meetings shall be conducted on a weekly basis covering issues related to the specific jobsite. First-Aid Treatment: All Project Managers are trained in First-aid and CPR. Any minor incidents will be handled at the jobsite by these certified personnel or our Safety Manager. If the manage- ment staff is unsure or unable to treat the injury, then the employee will be taken to the nearest hospital. Reporting Procedures: All accidents and near accidents shall be reported to FHP. In the event of a serious accident in which an employee dies or three (3) or more employees require hospitaliza- tion, the accident must be reported to the nearest Area Director of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration within eight (8) hours. The Project Superintendent shall notify the Owner’s designated representatives, as well as the Business Manager of employee’s local union, and the Corporate Risk Manager. The Safety Manager shall notify the appropriate insurance carriers and the Area Director of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. Company Required Safety Apparel: Company safety apparel shall consist of head protection, eye and face protection, hearing protection, hand protection, respiratory protection, and foot protec- tion. Construction Site Inspections: Construction site inspections are conducted on a daily basis by our Site Superintendent and documented on the company site safety inspection form. Subcontractor Safety Program Compliance Requirements: Subcontractors are given FHP’s site specific safety plan. This is written into the subcontract and must be adhered to by the subcon- tractor. Company Enforcement Procedures: The progressive steps of discipline – verbal warning, to writ- ten warning, to time off without pay, to dismissal – will be taken when employees/subcontractors are in violation of the Safety Program. The Safety Violation Form will be the written warning is- sued to employees. A violation of the Safety Program which results in serious injury or property damage shall be grounds for immediate dismissal. Occupied Building Plan: If a project site is to be occupied, even with a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation, we create detailed site-specific plans to accommodate it and protect the work- force, building, and equipment during construction.
