Our corporate goal is ZERO incidences and our strategy to achieve this goal is by completing the following:
- Pre-Project Job Safety Analysis/ Hazard Assessments
- Weekly Tool Box Talks
- Up-to-Date Negative Exposure Assessments
- Surprise Inspections from from Compliance Manager and management personnel to various job sites.
- Safety Committee
- Quarterly Mandatory Company safety meetings
Zero Incident Goal Standard, its what we strive for!
Employment of Quality Employees
ECG requires a pre-hiring agreement to be signed by each employee. Employees must comply with strict safety requirements that most often exceed local, state and federal regulation, a substance-abuse policy, discrimination and sexual-abuse policy and a written disciplinary program. Every employee remains on a continual observation. Employees able to comply with company policies receive above-average wages, profit sharing and benefit opportunities.
Ongoing Health and Safety Training
ECG requires all its employees to have the proper health and safety training that complies with the work being completed. ECG hires only certified professionals to train its employees and at no time requires employees to share the financial burden of proper training.
