Safety

At Younglove Construction, L.L.C., safety is a top priority.  Our owners, management, and employees worked together to establish a program to improve all areas of job safety.  Some of the many actions we have taken to insure a safe work environment include:

• Utilizing a Safety Committee.
• Setting specific safety goals, policies, and responsibilities.
• Providing continual, extensive safety education and training.
• Giving employees safety-related incentives and awards.
• Implementing all safety programs required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

We continuously monitor and upgrade our program to ensure our employees are committed to safety.  This commitment has resulted in a steadily declining trend in our experience modification rate and our loss day case incidence rate.  For example, Younglove decreased its job site accidents by 55% in four years.  Our Experience Modification Rate, which is a measure of job safety, is currently at .83.  An EMR below 1.0 is considered excellent.

Director of Safety Coordinates Programs

In 1993, Younglove Construction, L.L.C., hired a full-time Director of Safety to coordinate our safety program.  The Director of Safety works with the director of field operations, project managers, superintendents, foremen, employees, and Safety Committee to implement safety policies and monitor our safety goals.

Our insurance carrier provides additional safety services, including job site inspections, training, and analysis.

Education and Training

Education and training provide key elements to Younglove Construction's successful safety program.  Our supervisors receive continuing education in OSHA and job site safety programs through in-house training and outside seminars.

Superintendents and foremen train employees on job safety daily and also hold weekly safety meetings.
