SAFETY
Safety is THE determining factor in every facet of Kimmins’ work. Our safety program reflects our belief that people are our company’s most valuable asset. We go to great lengths to impress upon every employee that safety and security will always come before revenue and profit. In all areas of our operations, from the job sites to the equipment shop to the administrative offices, we adhere to best industry practices and guidelines to ensure that our employees are a part of the safest and most secure workplace possible.
Our onsite and in-house orientation and training programs are the backbone of our safety program. We recognize the achievements of crews and employees with outstanding safety records, and we hold weekly meetings to provide ongoing safety training for all supervisory and craft personnel. We firmly believe that while safety is everyone’s responsibility, providing a safe work environment is Kimmins’ number one priority.
As a testament to our commitment to safety, Kimmins was recently awarded a “GOLD SAFETY AWARD” by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in 2006. We received this award for working an entire year with NO LOST-TIME ACCIDENTS. This is a very significant accomplishment for a company that operates in the construction, demolition, earthwork, and recycling businesses, as well as a new record for Kimmins.
And this is only a single milestone. We plan on setting many more safety records in the months and years to come.
