MY SAFETY: INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS
FOR YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

There are many concerns when embarking on a construction project—none more important than safety. Beyond the physical risk to personnel and the general community, injuries on the job site can be costly in terms of liability, your company’s good name, the project’s budget and its completion date.

That’s why at PJ Dick, Trumbull and The Lindy Group, we believe a project is not completed successfully unless it is completed safely.

MY SAFETY means you can trust PJ Dick, Trumbull and Lindy Paving to ensure the well-being of your people, protect your good name, and complete your project cost-effectively.
Our Leaders integrate our safety values into everything they do, making our projects safer by always doing what is right. They:

  • Commit always to Safety Excellence.
  • Educate employees so they make the right risk decisions.
  • Plan for evolving safety efforts.
  • Empower employees’ safe behavior so they stop at-risk behavior.
  • Improve by learning from mistakes.
  • Celebrate safety successes.

COMMIT

MY SAFETY: STARTS WITH COMMITMENT

We believe in always doing the right thing first. That’s why the most important aspect of any effective safety program is a sincere commitment by top management. All safety professionals hold a BS or MS in Safety. Our efforts are continually recognized by industry organizations such as the Associated General Contractors of America, the National Safety Council and the Master Builders’ Association of Western PA.

PJ Dick, Trumbull and The Lindy Group are actively involved in federal and state voluntary compliance programs on select projects. The goal of such partnerships is to encourage joint cooperation between OSHA, MOSH, PJ Dick, Trumbull and Lindy Paving and trade contractors to foster a safe work environment for all project employees.

MY SAFETY MEANS EDUCATED EMPLOYEES

Recognizing that a trained workforce is vital to minimizing accidents, we provide all our employees with the training needed to properly and safely perform their jobs. Employees participate in the My Safety Leadership workshop, behavioral-based safety training that encourages discussion and resolution of real-life job scenarios.

 

Field operations leaders receive between 40 and 100 hours of safety training. This training is designed to create safety advocates who are empowered to act responsibly and encourage the same behavior in their staff. The result is a team of employees that is knowledgeable, confident and capable of managing safety at the project location.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Our leaders know that good communication is one of the best ways to prevent incidents. They conduct daily safety sessions and hold comprehensive safety talks and meetings.

 

Additionally, to prepare for real-world experience, highly participatory workshops engage employees in a variety of safety-related scenarios.

PLAN

MY SAFETY STARTS WITH A PLAN

Before each project begins, supervisors follow a comprehensive Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) to identify all potential and existing hazards and eliminate them before the job commences. From that assessment they develop and communicate a site-specific Safety Plan and share all pertinent safety information with each site employee.

The Penguins were very proud of the successful safety record on the CONSOL Energy Center project. We owe this success to the safety plan that was implemented by the PJ Dick construction safety team.
