CH & Sons believes that
safety and our business go hand-in-hand. Our
written Accident Prevention Program and
management leadership make a difference!
At CH & Sons, we believe
that the prevention of accidents is our moral
obligation and it is just good business. Our
safety efforts are based on the belief that
every working person is entitled to a work
environment that is safe and healthy. The
responsibility for the health and safety of our
employees is more than compliance with the
federal and state regulatory requirements. We
recognize that the protection of our employees,
property, the public, and the environment are
essential to the efficient and successful
completion of every construction project we
undertake. Safety is more than a priority at CH
& Sons. Our commitment to safety is a core
company value.
CH & Sons has established
an award-winning Accident Prevention Program
that includes formal safety training,
inspections, audits, and a formalized system of
reporting. We
acknowledge that accident prevention is a line
management responsibility. The responsibility is
shared at every level of our organization, from
the president to our craft work force. Our
managers, supervisors and employees are trained
to identify and correct unsafe conditions, and
more important, unsafe work practices.
Our branch and project
management teams conduct our Accident Prevention
Program at the branch and project levels. The company also has the support of a
full-time Safety Manager, who reports directly
to the Profit Center Manager. At the corporate level, our program has
oversight and management from a full-time Safety
Director and an Operations Safety Manager.
We believe that our
accident prevention efforts should have the same
value as quality, morale, cost, schedule, and
production. Safety is not in addition to our
work. Safety is how we do our work.
At CH & Sons, we believe that accidents should be
unusual and uncommon events and that most
accidents are preventable. Our goal continues to
be ZERO ACCIDENTS.
