Safety

Quality workers make the difference.

P. Gioioso & Sons, Inc. strongly believes that the employees, regardless of what they do, are the most important asset the Company has.

Worker's safety and health are of paramount importance throughout the Company and at all levels. Without healthy and able bodies, the performance of the Company as a whole would be impaired. For this belief, management is committed to providing a healthy work environment to prevent accidental injuries. The Company upgrades the safety program that it has in place continuously as new regulations and changes arise. The safety program began with the first company project, and the first comprehensive safety manual was produced in 1980. Today, the safety program, managed by an in-house safety director and at times supplemented by outside consultants, meets and exceeds all the requirements that OSHA has promulgated over the years. It is mandatory that every person employed by the company be continually aware of this commitment to safety.

The discipline policy applies to all employees in the company both at worker and at supervisory levels. All Supervisory personnel undergo periodic training and retraining to ensure that all employees are properly directed and protected. The policy intends to provide positive feedback and reinforcement to develop safe work habits. The discipline policy has four stages with increasing levels of severity and corresponding levels of discipline. Teamwork is needed for a meaningful safety program that will stop injuries and possible deaths among workers.

It did not take long for management to notice the success of its safety procedures. Downtime was drastically reduced, injuries were minimized and the Company activities became more manageable. The cost savings ultimately improved the project performance and increased the Company's competitiveness in the marketplace.

The safety program continues to be very successful. The ultimate goal is zero accidents of any type.
