Training
Our training program includes:
- OSHA Construction Safety Courses – includes OSHA 30–hour training for superintendents and OSHA 10–hour training for foreman.
- Hazardous Communication Training – teaches our personnel about materials used on site.
- Tool Box Safety Meeting – weekly meetings regarding upcoming safety topics.
Premobilization Meetings
These meetings are held before our team or subcontractors mobilize on site. This planning session covers the site safety program.
Pre-Work Meetings
Pre-work meetings are held prior to each phase of work to review the safety standards. We eliminate needless safety issues while increasing productivity and performance in quality.
Inspections
Inspections play a major role in all aspects of safety performance:
- Mock OSHA Inspections – conducted by our Safety Consultant and Operations Manager utilizing OSHA audit procedures, which identify issues.
- Superintendent’s Weekly Safety Inspections – performed by field supervisory staff to identify any non-compliance issues for corrective action.
- Company Safety Inspections – conducted monthly in which a thorough safety inspection is performed.
Tennessee Drug-Free Workplace
Johnson & Galyon implemented a post-accident drug test policy in 1987. We have been a certified participant in the Tennessee Drug-Free Workplace program since 1998. This program keeps drug users off our payroll and conveys a strong commitment to safety.
