Safety

At Harvey | Harvey-Cleary, we pride ourselves on our excellent safety record, and it is one of our highest priorities on every project. We are industry leaders in keeping our safety program robust, relevant, and innovative.

Safety at Every Second

From the moment someone enters our site until they leave, we require that every safety precaution is taken avoid accidents and injuries. Our protocols cover everything from wearing the appropriate footwear to utilizing proper harnessing when working at elevated heights. We set the standard by leading by example and actively practicing construction site safety without exception. 

Safety Training

At Harvey | Harvey-Cleary, we emphasize the importance of safety training as an essential part of our operations, supported by consistent communication. We encourage all onsite personnel and subcontractors to provide evidence of their relevant training. Our initiatives exceed basic requirements, featuring regular training opportunities and collaboration with OSHA to promote safety awareness and foster a culture of safety throughout every project.

Safety Database

How do we know when specific training is needed? Our proprietary database of safety observations (near misses) rendered first aid and recordable incidents. This data allows us to stay up-to-date on what’s trending in the field.  By performing this regular analysis, we can take a proactive approach to our training and communication to address issues before they become problems. We are builders, and we are responsible for ensuring the safest worksite possible. Our commitment to safety is a collaborative effort that involves everyone on the team. It’s essential that we all take an active role in maintaining a safe environment.

Safety Records

The data backs up our claim; we have one of the best safety records in the construction industry. Our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Experience Modifier Rate (EMR) are usually half the industry average. Our clients get peace of mind and more competitive pricing as we pass along the savings we get in our insurance rates. 

ACCOUNTABILITY

We promote a culture of safety among our workers by offering various incentives, such as team luncheons and financial recognition rewards. At the same time, we emphasize personal responsibility and have clear guidelines regarding safety expectations. Any safety concerns raised are addressed in safety meetings, where employees can discuss alternative safe practices. In more serious situations, individuals may need to leave the worksite, and additional training may be provided to reinforce safety knowledge for the remaining team members.

This blend of encouragement and accountability has contributed to our positive safety outcomes in the construction industry. It inspires out workers to prioritize safety, helping to ensure our clients can rely on us for safe and efficient project completion.
