OUr safety goal is
zero incidents
—
Barriere's first and most important commitment is to protect our employees and the public entering our job sites to the fullest extent possible. We believe that all incidents are preventable, a philosophy that is incorporated into our methods of employee training and development.
SAFETY IS A RESPONSIBILITY
THAT CANNOT BE DELEGATED
—
Our project management teams are directly responsible for safety on their projects. They have authority and responsibility to implement all aspects of our safety program. Our crews also understand that we expect all Barriere employees to take the attitude that “safety begins with me” and to accept responsibility for their own behavior.
tracking Safety Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs)
We also measure and track our KPIs and compare our leading and lagging indicators to our past performance and to industry standards. Through our total commitment to an ongoing, comprehensive safety program, Barriere has achieved an excellent safety record. A record we take great pride in.
Our employees own
Our employees commit to “The 6” to prevent serious injuries and fatalities. We ask every employee to accept six core responsibilities. Everyone works together to ensure that “The 6” is discussed on every project. The six responsibilities are integral to our companywide efforts to protect health and life and to support our Journey to Zero incidents.
Policies That Protect
—
Our safety program policies are designed as resources for our crews in creating and establishing a safe work environment.
See. Stop.
Do.
Allows anyone on the job site to stop all work if they see an imminent danger to the health and safety of employees, the general public, or a facility.
Hazard
Recognition
The main method of prevention is identification. To keep safety in the foreground, we encourage hourly employees to identify potential hazards and we reward them for doing so.
Safety
Reward Cards
When hourly employees go above and beyond their job description to ensure safety, we encourage supervisors to give them safety reward cards.
Leadership
Walks
By providing compressed project schedules and identifying the best approach to a job, we can exceed customer expectations--saving you time and money.
