Health & Safety : Achieving Incident-Free Perfomance

Health & Safety
"SAFETY, QUALITY and VALUE are central to Envirocon's operations. These elements are not simply a matter of priorities... they are integral to how we conduct business."

Jack Gilbraith
Envirocon President
 

Envirocon's safety philosophy is also our goal: "Incident-Free Performance." Safety is an integral component of our planning and execution of every project and engages our clients, staff, and subcontractors. Creating and maintaining a culture of safety is an ongoing process at Envirocon. Our programs and procedures are designed to support our culture of Incident-Free Performance.

Safety Program
Envirocon's safety program is behavior-based and fully compliant with OSHA and state regulations. We recognize that Incident-Free Performance relies on the attitudes and knowledge of every project participant. Our senior managers develop goals and continuously evaluate progress toward those goals. Health and safety professionals work with operations personnel throughout all phases of each project to ensure the quality and protectiveness of the project-specific safety program.

Best-in-Class Safety Programs
Envirocon has actively participated in our clients' best-in-class programs and inspections around the country. As part of these teams, Envirocon stood with our clients through rigorous inspection processes that resulted in: VPP Star status awards, OSHA's 18001 certification, and ISO 14001 certification. These sites included: a refinery closure in Casper, Wyoming; the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Commerce City, Colorado; and an industrial site in Edison, New Jersey. Formal safety recognition has also come from our private clients in the mining, refining, and chemical industries.

Safety Performance
The success of Envirocon's safety program is evidenced by our Experience Modification Rate or EMR, which compares our performance to that of similar firms in the industry. Our OSHA Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) is 75 percent lower than industry average and those of our competitors. In addition to excellent overall safety statistics, Envirocon has never had a serious injury or fatality. Envirocon has had a ten-fold increase in man-hours while experiencing a continuous steady decline in an already low RIR, reflecting our focus on always improving safety performance.
