Safety First, Always

Safety is ingrained in BAL CONSTRUCTIONS culture, and our success is built on a steadfast foundation of safety. We strive to maintain the most impressive safety record in the industry, and we exceed client expectations by utilizing a highly trained workforce, new software technology, innovative systems and practical solutions to complete projects on time, within budget and with no recordable incidents. We believe that all accidents and injuries are preventable, and no aspect of our business is more important than safety.

Our Empowerment for Safety program promotes individual responsibility and accountability by providing employees with the full authority to stop any work activity that represents a potential danger to the working crew or the public. All of our employees carry an Empowerment for Safety card, which states our safety policy and serves as a reminder of their role in our safety program. We consistently reinforce our principles with safety education, training, and recognition for achievement at all levels of our organization.

Operating Safety Committees

BAL CONSTRUCTIONS has an operating safety committee (OSC) for both the construction and maintenance groups. Each OSC meets on a monthly basis to identify and address safety and health related issues. The committees are made up of representatives from each department and site, and across all levels of the company. Through discussion, the committees review and recommend solutions that can improve the working environment of all employees. The committees also serve as a conduit for the communication of safety information and innovation between members of the organization by:

• Raising awareness of existing unsafe actions or conditions
• Seeking opportunities for improvement in the safety process
• Providing safety leadership that contributes to a dynamic safety culture
