Things
change! Building standards, permit and code
requirements, material selection…
Viewed from an insider’s perspective, the
construction industry is in constant motion.
The art and science of building superior commercial,
residential and institutional facilities, and
excellent customer service programs in today’s
marketplace requires that companies establish
systems to closely monitor change, and respond as
necessary. One area closely monitored by
Trumbull-Nelson involves issues of workplace safety.
We recognize the continued, critical need for such
information to help us to continually assess and
implement proper safety procedures. No concern is
deemed more relevant or crucial to Company
personnel.
Knowing what creates a safe work environment, and
developing a corporate culture that highly values
safety can be separate matters. How does a company
communicate the importance of safety to
organizational members, and also to their clients? A
variety of methods are employed at Trumbull-Nelson.
A company newsletter, the T-N Times, communicates
safety-related information to employees on a
quarterly basis. Also, Trumbull-Nelson supports
employee training and development in all aspects of
safety, including First Aid and CPR certified
training. A Joint Loss Management Committee,
consisting of field and office supervisory personnel
meet on a regular basis to discuss safety issues and
implement new ideas. In the field, crews receive
training from sources that include vendors, safety
consultants and site supervisors. Site safety
inspections occur on a regular basis, as do safety
meetings. And all subcontractors receive a copy of
Trumbull-Nelson’s Safety Policies. It is the
responsibility of each Project Manager to inform and
educate each client on safety matters, and to help
them recognize the benefits associated with safety,
such as financial risk reduction, enhanced
productivity and worker commitment.
Trumbull-Nelson believes that accident prevention is
an essential and vital ingredient of the Company’s
operations. Complying with Safety and Health
Standards set by such agencies as Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a given.
Our continued commitment to safety will include
efforts to anticipate risk, encourage work personnel
to make safety a top priority and personal
responsibility, and pass along any and all
associated benefits to our valued customers.
