Safety is Our Priority

At Jewett Construction Company, Inc., safety is our priority. We base this priority not because we have to, but because we want to provide our employees, subcontractors, owners and others with the safest workplace possible. We do this by making safety an integral part of our construction philosophy. This is accomplished by having an established safety policy/program, which is policed and updated by a Joint loss Committee and a designated Safety officer.

Our Safety program states: “It is the practice of Jewett Construction Co., Inc. and its employees to maintain a safe workplace. All employees shall follow the safety rules that are established by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), the Federal, State and Local Government, and Jewett Construction Co., Inc. All employees must know their role in keeping the workplace safe. An employee must have a copy of Jewett’s Safety Policy on each job site at all times.” The Safety policy is compiled into a manual and covers such topics from accident reporting to Hazard Communications, Fire Prevention to Daily Reports.

It is the responsibility of all Jewett Construction Co., Inc. employees to promote safety first and to enforce the company safety programs on all locations occupied by Jewett Construction Co., Inc. Additionally, all subcontractors are required by contract to participate in OSHA and Jewett Construction Co., Inc. safety procedures to ensure compliance with safety and health standards.
