Safety is our culture

The most meaningful thing we can do as a company is keep our people, and yours, safe. We see safety as more than a requirement to be met; it’s part of our company culture, our commitment to one another.
Which may be why we’ve never had a major OSHA citation or fine.

Protocols to protect our greatest assets

We’ve made a commitment that every employee who shows up to work goes back home safely. That’s why any employee is empowered to stop a project if an unsafe condition exists. We leave nothing to chance, as this (only partial) list of safety protocols shows:

Awareness

- Safety Awareness Week
- Monthly safety campaigns, e.g., eye protection, ladder safety
- Weekly “Toolbox Talks” on trending safety topics
- The JAG safety code of conduct

Training

Mandatory training on OSHA and state safety standards
Third-party vendor training on new technology/techniques, incl. VR training
Weekly on-site drills, e.g., unconscious diver drills, fall protection
Mock rescue training for complex operations

Planning

Project-specific Daily Activities Plans
Location-specific Emergency Response Plans
Field safety coordinators (on-site safety audits of projects)
Corporate Safety Committee

Measurement & Recognition

KPA-Flex safety management metrics, e.g., safety audits and incident reporting
Certification and training progress tracking, by employee
Friday safety review meetings
Incentivized safety recognition programs, e.g. “JAG Recognizes You” and “Good Catch”

Gear Up – Speak Up – Be Safe

It’s our safety motto and a reminder of all we’ve achieved: our companies’ Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) rates rank consistently better than the national average.

True commitment from the top down

Not only is our top leadership deeply involved – and approachable – about safety, but our coordinated team of dedicated safety managers lives and breathes safety on a day-to-day, sometimes moment-to-moment basis.
