Safety is the most
important player on our team and we are very conscious of safety and loss
control. Safety awareness is job one! It benefits both Amex and our clients. To
insure our position, we maintain and implement our Corporate Safety Policy
Program, which consists of three basic elements: Policy, Training, and
Enforcement.
Amex employs 2 full-time safety professionals, our
Corporate Safety Director and a Field Safety Supervisor. The Corporate Safety
Director oversees the entire safety and loss control programs. The role of the
Safety Director includes: create/revise, implement and enforce the Corporate
Safety Policy; participates in job site safety inspections; Chairman of the
Amex Safety Committee; project specific safety training; coordinates Workman's
Compensation and General Liability insurance. Our Safety Director holds the
Project Managers and Field Supervision responsible for day to day site safety
responsibilities and the Safety Director acts as a resource for field support
as needed. Our Field Safety Supervisor supports the efforts of the Safety
Director and is available for full time, on site safety support as requested by
our clients.
Employee training is the most important part of any safety
program and we concentrate our efforts in this area. Supervisors receive copies
of our safety manual and are trained to incorporate the program into the work
schedule with informal group discussions called "Toolbox Safety Talks", which
are conducted by each foreman on a weekly basis. and all employees participate
in regularly scheduled follow-up training programs along with site specific
training programs. Over 90% of our work force has completed the OSHA 10 hour
safety training and all of our Apprentices are trained in First Aid and
CPR.
Our safety program is interwoven into every phase of our business
and is enforced uniformly, consistently, and swiftly.
Safety is another
ingredient that Amex incorporates into its infrastructure to help ensure a
successful, high quality, safe, cost effective, on time project.
