Ongoing safety is a primary focus for all employees, driven by efforts of the safety committee, which meets quarterly. Led by Al Goldstein, the Safety Officer, and made up of members from different departments throughout the company, the committee focuses on ensuring the correct safety equipment is available and utilized to protect employees.
“We look at training to make sure our associates know how to correctly use the equipment we provide. We also look at the tools needed to do our job safely, such as Arc flash gear and safety harnesses for those working up high. As part of weekly toolbox talks, we review different incident scenarios to see what could have been done differently and consider what we can do in the future to prevent accidents from happening. We also offer a handful of informative training programs, including CPR, First Aid, Fork Truck, Powder Actuated Tools, OSHA 10, and specialized classes as needed. Another thing we look at is the job safety reports generated as part of a walk-through of our facilities and job sites. These give us an idea that our associates are working hard to perform at a high level of best practices .” - Al Goldstein, Lewis Builders’ Safety Officer.
