Safety

Employees are our most important assets and their safety is our greatest responsibility. It is the policy of Meccon Industries, Inc. to provide a safe working environment, to eliminate safety hazards and to provide adequate safety devices for all Meccon employees.

Further, it is our goal to create safety awareness among our employees so that each individual understands that he or she has the ultimate responsibility to work safely. Unsafe work practices by any individual on the jobsite can often lead to accidents even in s safe working environment. It is our goal to eliminate both.

We firmly believe that accidents can be controlled and prevented and that the key to controlling accidents on each project rests with supervision and their understanding of the direct relationship of safety and insurance costs. Safety is the primary responsibility of operating management and all supervisory employees must accept these responsibilities. Our basic objective is to establish, throughout the construction site, a concept that the protection of people and property will receive top priority, support, and participation by all management personnel.

It is the policy of our company to:

• Comply with the federal, state and/or local regulations governing safety at the jobsite.
• Take expedient action to correct or isolate unsafe conditions or work practices.
• Promote safety awareness.
• Hold each employee accountable for their individual responsibility for safety.
• Require our employees to inform their supervisor immediately when unsafe conditions are present without fear of reprisal.
• Every reasonable effort will be made to assure that employees can accomplish the safe completion of assigned tasks. No task is so important, nor so urgent, that we cannot take the time to do it safely.

Meccon performs timely and cost effective construction services at an accident rate far below the national average. As a result of our ongoing Fields Safety Program, productivity is greatly enhanced. Our goal is to provide a safe working environment protecting both you and our own employees. At Meccon, “Safety is Priority #1”.
