Safety Management
Walton’s executive management is fully committed to implementing and maintaining a work environment that is safe and friendly for all. Our safety program is driven by several key factors, the foremost is attitude and team work. In order to be part of the Walton team, one must be willing to accept responsibility for their safety as well as the safety of those around them. For this very reason, the company continues to reinforce and develop techniques to provide our employees new insight on safe work practices.
Another important factor of employee safety is pre-planning for the jobsite. The necessity of being proactive and planning is a mandatory aspect of the safety culture at Walton. We have a vast number of safety professionals within the organization who are key in project planning and support. The best way to prevent an accident is to plan ahead, so the project team hosts pre-construction meetings with subcontractors, vendors and suppliers of the project. As a result, operating methods and items of concern can be addressed and resolved before they result in a less than desirable outcome.
In order to maintain our commitment to a safe work environment the project team performs jobsite audits to verify compliance with OSHA safety regulations and client expectations. Project audits are a key component of the safety process at Walton. On any construction site the environment and project conditions change constantly therefore, our project team maintains a strong focus on jobsite conditions and hazard recognition.
Project meetings and constant communication are another important aspect of the safety process. The Walton team holds weekly progress meetings and uses this forum to address ongoing safety issues and project expectations. The company recognizes that the safety process is an ongoing responsibility that must be addressed regularly. It is the intent of such meetings that planning and coordination will assist the supervision to maintain a safe work environment.
The Walton team is proud to have maintained an experience modification rating well below the industry average for over 10 years. It is our goal that each and every employee go home safe and healthy at the end of the day. We’re committed to it!
Work Smart, Work Safe!
