Safety
|
Seabold Construction Co., Inc. has a primary concern for the safety and well-being of all of our employees*; we recognize construction work involves many types of physical hazards, and we are confident accidents and risks can be greatly reduced if every employee knows and follows safety practices, understands and complies with the company’s drug and alcohol policy, and maintains quality control policies and programs as outlined by the Director of Field Operations and jobsite Superintendents. The effectiveness of any safety program depends directly upon the participation and cooperation of management supervision. Their coordinated effort is essential for producing satisfactory results. Management must demonstrate total support for the program and our management team is completely supportive of the program currently in place. With the guidance of our full-time Safety Manager, training is given during preconstruction meetings, new hire orientations, and/or on-site safety meetings, to ensure all employees are up to date on our policies and programs. We have been proactive in providing carefully trained, well-equipped crews to all of our projects and facilities with our objectives as follows:
In 2004-2005, Seabold Construction received the Associated General Con-tractor’s Certificate of Commendation for a loss ratio of 10% or less for that policy period. *The term “employee” as used in our safety policy is intended to refer to any subcontractor, vendor, or supplier, as well as any sub-tiered contractor(s), vendor(s), or supplier(s) performing work for Seabold, on our projects or at our facilities.
Copies of our Safety Manual Available Upon Request We recognize drug and/or alcohol use and/or abuse poses a significant threat to our employee safety and welfare goals. Recognizing our legal and moral responsibilities relating to the problem of drugs, we support and are committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace. The company prohibits the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, transfer or sale of drugs in the workplace. It is strictly against company policy for any employee to use or possess alcohol or illegal drugs or abuse legal substances while on company premises or company occupied properties. It is strictly against company policy to report for work under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol, and any employee found in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Our written Alcohol & Drug Policy is included in our Safety Manual As the General Contractor for your project, Seabold’s primary goal is to exceed your expectations by providing a quality, long lasting product. Under the direct supervision of Jon DeGroote, Director of Field Operations, and by Mike Benson, Safety and Warranty Manager, our Quality Control team works with the construction team to identify and address quality assurance areas. An independent inspector traveling to each project unannounced also helps to ensure subcontractors are constructing and installing doors, windows, roofing material, etc. according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Quality Control reports are prepared and reviewed before, during, and after each construction phase to ensure subcontractors’ work is in compliance with established quality standards. Records of these inspections and reports are kept for 10 years. Near the end of each phase and certainly towards the end of project completion, an inspection is conducted in which a “punch list” is developed addressing every quality issue. The subcontractors performing the work are held accountable and must comply with all quality issues identified.
