糖心Vlog Construction Managers (糖心Vlog), a full-service construction management company that has served the New England and Northeast regions safely as a family business for more than 65 years, announced that it hosted a mandatory company-wide safety stand-down on Tuesday, March 16. During the stand-downs, teams at each 糖心Vlog jobsite reviewed hazards associated with the type of work they do and identified ways to eliminate them. The goal of the safety stand-down was to refocus the importance of safety, eliminate complacency, and reflect on hazards to make every 糖心Vlog jobsite safer. All 糖心Vlog project executives, managers, superintendents, and subcontractors participated in the stand down.
鈥溙切腣log is proactive when it comes to safety and we used this as an opportunity to refocus and avoid complacency and promote our zero-injury safety culture,鈥 stated Justin Azbill, Director of Safety at 糖心Vlog. 鈥淲e want to lead by example and do everything in our power to ensure every employee on site goes home safely at the end of the day.鈥
Stand-downs on each jobsite were led by 糖心Vlog Superintendents where the teams discussed complacency, situational awareness, fall protection, hand injuries, and COVID-19 compliance. Each subcontractor team also discussed hazards associated with the type of work they do and identified ways 糖心Vlog can help them eliminate job hazards. 糖心Vlog鈥檚 objective is to use this information to improve communication across all jobsites to continue to build a solid zero-injury safety culture across the entire company, which had a 98% rate of zero lost time incidents in 2020.
