Strategies to Successfully Manage Safety

As a COR certified contractor, DMS takes safety management seriously. Our safety program is our top priority, because the human cost of worksite safety issues is incalculable, in our mind.

Creating a safety program for your company is only the beginning of successfully managing job site safety. Just like the management of a successful STO plan, steps needed to be taken to implement the plan and measure the effectiveness of that plan.

Training and education, regarding safe work practices, has been the first step in the implementation of our safety program. The second step, that goes hand-in-hand with this first step, is the provision of personal protection equipment and the required use of that equipment. Keeping emergency safety and first aid supplies and equipment up to date and accessible is another important part of carrying out our safety program.

Preventative maintenance and safety inspections are scheduled to make sure that working conditions that were safe, remain safe. When an accident or injury does occur, an investigation of the incident is required so that we can learn the cause and improve our preventative measures. Again, just as with the management of a STO plan, careful record keeping is done, so that we can evaluate our safety performance and continue to improve upon our methods.
