We want everyone to have a safeDAY! 

At home and at work

We follow by these principals to ensure the safety of our employees as well as clients who may be on the job site. We expect all of our employees to abide by these principals and if anyone does not follow them, they will be reprimanded as per our discipline policy

Fit for Work

  • Report to work in a fit condition and avoid impairment from fatigue, alcohol and/or drugs.
  • Any use or misuse of prescription, illegal drugs, or other substances will reduce your ability to complete your job in a safe manner.
  • Also, maintain a physical and mental state that allows you to perform your job well.
  • Stress and illness will reduce your ability to do your job safely.

Driving & Operating

  • Prepare by checking your vehicle or mobile equipment, correct out of service defects
  • Everyone wears a seatbelt
  • No handheld devices when driving or operating
  • Obey all signs and follow the rules of the road or site traffic plan. Drive appropriately and adjust for conditions of the roadway or changing conditions and hazards of the job site.
  • Always use mobile equipment and light vehicles for the purpose they were designed for.

Energy & Machine Isolation

  • Make sure to identify and control all potential forms of energy by following the procedures to eliminate the risk that is associated with the hazard of stored energy.
  • Only work on equipment if all energy sources have been identified, tagged appropriately, locked with your personal lock & tag and tested to ensure that they are at a zero-energy state.

Plans & Procedures

  • Ensure you have a proper plan and clear instructions of a task and completed all paperwork (circle checks, HOMES, risk- assessments) thoroughly and properly before beginning work.
  • Make sure you follow proper procedures for completing tasks.
  • Ask your supervisor for clarification if you are ever unsure of the plan or procedure.

Aware of Your Workplace

  • Be aware of the conditions and hazards in your workplace and adjust your work as needed.
  • Don’t become complacent- hazards can change in the same workspace.
  • Be aware of slippery surfaces, lighting, natural environment, unsafe ground, overhead hazards, traffic, heights, open holes, electricity, hazardous substances, confined spaces, and weather.

Stop & Speak Out

  • If there is any level of doubt of safety, STOP and speak up. If you see unsafe acts or conditions, STOP and speak up. Take ownership of your safety and leadership on the job site. If you feel the task is out of your skill set or experience, STOP and speak up.
  • Correct any unsafe acts or conditions as you can. To safely operate mobile equipment, you must have the necessary qualifications, certificates, competencies, and training approved by William Day Construction. If anyone tells you to operate equipment and you are not qualified, STOP and speak up-do not accept the task.
  • Only perform work you are trained, certified, qualified, authorized, and fit to perform.

PPE & Tools 

  • Ensure that you have all of the necessary PPE, tools, and equipment BEFORE beginning a task. Think about what you need and what you COULD need.
  • Ensure that all PPE, tools and equipment are in safe and good working condition before beginning a task.
  • Only use the PPE, tools, and equipment as they were designed to be used
  • If there is an issue with any of the tools or equipment, or you require specific PPE, speak with your supervisor.
