Safety on a GreenWood project is planned, initiated at the start of work, and enforced throughout the duration of the project.
To achieve our project safety objectives:
- Standards and responsibilities are set and clearly communicated to all employees.
- A means to monitor and enforce these standards is established.
- Procedures are included for evaluation and mitigation of hazardous conditions, including safe job planning.
- A system to teach, motivate and sustain safety knowledge is installed.
- A process is installed to counsel, re-train and otherwise control meeting the standards.
- Reward for exemplary safety performance is instituted.
GreenWood works closely with its customers' own safety resources in establishing site programs, safety communication, inspections, audits, substance abuse screening and all efforts to carry out a successful site safety program.
