Safety

Safety is a number one priority at Ivey’s Construction. Our quest for safety excellence has been augmented greatly by our most valuable resource: our employees. As a result, Ivey’s Construction’s focus on safety has been recognized both regionally and nationally – a testament to the impact of our absolute commitment to providing the safest work environment possible.

Here’s a closer look at the critical elements of Ivey’s Construction’s safety program.

• Orientation – All new Ivey’s Construction employees attend a new-hire orientation before assuming any job duties.

• Safety Staff – We have a full-time Corporate Safety Director with more than 30 years of experience on staff, as well as safety managers in the field.

• Hazard Recognition – Site safety audits are conducted weekly on all Ivey’s Construction projects and are led by a Safety Representative and Ivey’s Site Superintendent. These Audits help promote our team’s involvement in safety issues and provide a forum to discuss techniques used and possible alternatives.

• Job Hazard Analysis – At all job sites, the Ivey’s field supervisor originates a Job Safety Analysis (JHA) to ensure that proper thought and planning have gone into each phase of the work.

• Safety Meetings – Conduct weekly at all project sites by one of our field supervisors addressing site specific topics and concerns. Owner representatives often attend and speak at these meetings.

• Subcontractor Safety – The actions of one contractor can impact everyone on a job site. For this reason, we issue a Subcontractor safety questionnaire to all subcontractors as a pre-requisite to employment. The questionnaire is reviewed by the corporate safety director to ensure complete compliance with Ivey’s requirements and expectations.

At Ivey’s Construction, our commitment to safety is not just a program. It’s a culture. We believe that accidents are not only avoidable but are unacceptable. This culture promotes our injury-free environment and ensures that our EMR is consistently well below the industry average. The most important measurement of our safety program isn’t how many awards we have won or what safety statistics we have for any given year. It’s that every night, our employees leave the job site and go home safely to their families. That is what we call success.
