Proactive Approach

PARIC believes in preventing accidents through the exercise of personal initiative and mandatory safety training. Every single employee is responsible for accident prevention as part of his/her job.

Consistent with these values, PARIC advocates:

  • A strong emphasis on safety training and expectations
  • A solid safety reporting structure mandating accountability at every level of the organization
  • Employee responsibility, giving every employee the right and authority to stop work when an activity is being performed in an unsafe way
  • A mandatory Substance Abuse Program which requires drug and alcohol testing of all employees, including pre-employment, random, reasonable cause, and post accident
  • Daily safety-inspections conducted by trained on-site supervisors
  • Daily safety discussions regarding the tasks to be performed and documented weekly safety meetings
  • Construction operations conducted in strict adherence to federal, state and local safety policies, and to specific PARIC safety-policies
