Health and Safety Program for Environmental Remediation Projects
Safety is fundamental to TerraTherm`s everyday culture. Whether working in the office or at a project site, we are dedicated to operating and maintaining projects in a safe manner. Our Health and Safety Program is an integral part of each project. Potential hazards and exposures are identified and managed through the performance of a site survey and by open communication with managing contractors and clients. We believe that even one on-the-job accident is not acceptable. Safety is not just a policy, but rather an attitude that pervades every job we do.Supporting our Goal of ZERO Incidents:
TerraTherm`s safety program consists of a clear, concise set of policies and procedures, and accompanying training and processes that enhance employee knowledge and participation.
Experience Modification Rate:
TerraTherm`s commitment to safety has earned us an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.89 for 2014/2015. Our low EMR rating is attributed to the company`s strong safety program and our experienced and dedicated employees.
Safety Orientation:
TerraTherm trains employees so as to reinforce the company`s safety culture by outlining key safety rules - administered at initial hire and annually thereafter.
Regulatory Specific Training:
TerraTherm provides in-house ongoing employee training to meet or exceed regulatory requirements - topics such as powered industrial truck, HAZWOPER, electrical safety, hazardous energy control, fall protection, qualified rigger, confined space entry, and respiratory protection, among others.
Safety Committee Meetings:
TerraTherm managers, supervisors, field crew, and safety department members gather in an open forum to discuss safety - conducted biweekly to enhance communication among all levels of the organization, and all disciplines.
Incentive Program:
TerraTherm uses a Safety Incentive Program to reward employees for their safety-conscious efforts. The program awards eligible employees with incentive items based on participation in weekly safety topic quizzes, near-miss reporting, and recognition and correction of potential compliance and safety issues.
