Safety
APB is committed to Safety first on every project. Our top priority, that is communicated and stressed to our employees and subcontractors are the importance of safety and health while working and completing daily planned project assignments.
It is APB’s Safety Director’s, Safety Managers’, and Safety Supervisors’ main concern to keep its employees injury free and healthy for their families and loved ones.
APB promotes safety practices on its jobsites by:
- Educating employees with weekly toolbox meetings
- Maintaining required semi-annual and annual training programs
- Accountability of management and employee regarding safety compliance
- Addressing and timely correction of safety issues and at risk behavior
- Acknowledging and rewarding safe work practices
- Maintaining good communication with project management staff
- Performing weekly safety audits and supervisor safety meetings
Prior to a job’s start, employee involvement in the job hazard analysis process has made a huge impact on safety awareness. This process actively involves employee interaction by reviewing the hazard assessments and hazard preventions together.
These actions have encouraged APB’s employees to be more safety conscious and enabled them to work as a team with safety in mind at all times.
APB currently has 20 Safety Trained Supervisors (STS) and 2 CHST’s (Construction Health & Safety Tech). These employees take pride in being safety knowledgeable.
Securing a “safety culture” in a construction world of “production first” has been and is a continuous challenge. However, the reward of safe and healthy employees far outweighs any production goals met.
