             SAFETY OVERVIEW

At LS. Fiore, the main goal is nothing less than elimination of injury to people and damage to property. If either occurs, management wishes to minimize the impact on both the worker and the company. All management accident prevention and control activities are directed toward this goal.

Safety begins by following the standards below, which apply to all company personnel and to subcontractors. Remember, these rules and OSHA regulations are the minimum safety requirements.  Good housekeeping is the first rule and must be followed through from beginning of the job to the finish.

Safety on each project will be assigned to a field supervisor or the designated competent person to ensure that project practice meets company standards. These people see that foremen do not encourage or permit workers to take unnecessary risks and that workers are instructed in safe working conditions.

The company’s safety tip program will continuously improve current practices. Tips will be evaluated by the Safety Committee, and those voted worthy will be sent to management for implementation. The best suggestions will be rewarded financially.

Employees are encouraged to report unsafe working conditions and unsage acts by others to the Safety Committee.  A list of committee personnel is kept at the main office.

To formalize and direct activities, the Safety Committee adapts and implements the latest regulations formulated by the National Safety Committee of Associated Builders and Contractors. Teams formed by the committee bring a cooperative approach to achievement of these goals. A list of teams is available at our main office in Altoona, PA.

Management strongly supports the program and insists upon progress. Project managers and job supervisors are responsible for implementing accident control and for integrating it into all operations.
