Safety First Our Goal is Zero Accidents
The safety and health of each Craft Contracting employee is of primary importance to us. As a company, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. Management will provide all necessary safeguards, programs, and equipment required to eliminate the potential for accidents and injuries.
Each employee is responsible for supporting our safety program by working safely and protecting others. Success requires a shared commitment to injury prevention and cooperation at all levels. Our goal is zero accidents.
In the event an employee becomes injured or ill, regardless of the severity, immediately report it to the JT2 Engineering and Construction Site Supervisor, Turner Construction – Meta Construction Representative, and Turner Construction – Meta Operations. All injuries or incidents will be reviewed and investigated to prevent repeat injuries.
