Zero Harm.

Zero Harm is about getting everyone, all the way down the line, to do their part to take the risk out of what we do everyday. The goal of Zero Harm by 2012 is to achieve: zero fatalities; zero injuries to the general public; and zero ruined lives among our people. This is a huge shift in thinking and operations – it means doing things the industry has not thought of yet.

Our Safety Program.

• Our written Safety and Health program addresses all relevant regulatory issues as it pertains to the scope of work at our jobsites.
  
  
• Random site audits are conducted regularly based on the scope of work and job duration.
  
  
• The weekly Safety audit documents the ongoing implementation of safety in the field for both SpawMaxwell employees and trade partners. The system recognizes compliance, and documents the mitigation of non-compliance issues with escalating consequences relative to the safety violations.
  
  
• Safety training is conducted on-site weekly with mandatory  monthly safety leadership training meetings for top line management and project management personnel as well as additional mandatory safety training.   
  
  
• Mandatory Safety training includes: First Aid & CPR; OSHA 30-Hour Course;  Fall Protection; Excavation and Trenching; Scaffolding  and Storm Water Abatement
  
  
• Pre-job and ongoing job hazard analyses (JHA) are conducted and documented on site. Recommendations that address on-site hazards are distributed immediately to the project team.
  
  
• Our Critical Task Observation Program requires that extremely hazardous, non-routine tasks are addressed on site by the project and safety management team.
  
  
• Statistical analyses of our incidents, accidents and near misses are conducted monthly to determine trends, compliance and to focus on Safety training.
  
  
• We thoroughly investigate all accidents, injuries, near misses and third party incidents. Preventative and corrective measures are developed as a result and used to address all safety-related issues throughout the company.
  
  
• By taking a team approach to Safety to resolve issues, and by searching for new ways to continuously improve Safety and Health of our employees and trade partners, we honor our philosophy of "People First" by providing a safe work place for our people.
