At Barriere, safety is our most important core value and an integral part of our company's culture.
“Put the safety of our employees and the public FIRST!”
This commitment along with our strong management leadership makes the difference. From the early planning stages through the final inspection of a completed project, we are committed to becoming a “"world class" contractor in safety. Our customers know of our commitment to safety, and they continue to choose our company to build their work because of this vital shared value.
Operating safely is a company goal that each of our divisional management teams understands and supports. Barriere has an established program of individual accountability that involves each foreman, superintendent and project manager. At the corporate level, our program has oversight and management from a full time safety director.
It is the responsibility of every Barriere employee to provide and maintain the safest possible working environment for himself, his co-workers, the general public and our clients. Full and active daily participation and involvement is both expected and required. Safety is not something we do in addition to our work; it is how we perform our work!
Barriere has an established safety program that includes:
- Corporate Safety Policy Statement
- Safe Work Practices
- New Employee Safety Orientation
- Supervisory Safety Training and Education
- Pre-Job Safety Planning
- Hourly Employee Safety Recognition
Project safety performance clearly demonstrates this commitment and the operational discipline needed to safely execute each project. Nothing we do is so urgent or important that we will compromise this commitment.
