Safety Protocols

We foster a safety-first culture where everyone actively participates in maintaining a secure work environment. While working efficiently is important to deadlines and the bottom line, working safely is more important to us. At ESS, we strive to do both - with safety always as the top priority. Our safety measures also include the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safety audits, and regular comprehensive training. Teams receive initial safety training at the beginning of employment, participate in weekly safety meetings on a variety of jobsite safety topics, and receive additional in-depth company-wide training on a quarterly basis. This ensures that all employees are well-versed with our company standards as well as OSHA regulations. The success of our safety program is reflected in our excellent Work Comp Safety Mod of .74.

Continuous Improvement

We believe that there is always room for improvement

One of our company’s seven core values is, “Get Better Everyday: Always innovate and take time to work smarter, not harder.” This is evident in our building procedures and in our safety practices. In an effort to find a way to work efficiently, with safety in mind, we developed a proprietary Fall Protection System specific to our specialized line of work. We secure heavy-duty poles to the structure and clop personal safety harnesses into them when working above the first floor. This eliminates time and cost of assembling and disassembling scaffolding. Of course, we do own scaffolding and use it on select jobs as appropriate.

RESPONSE

Our emergency response procedures are designed to effectively handle any incidents that may occur on the job site. We have clear protocols for immediate action, including evacuation plans, first aid procedures, and emergency contact information. Regular drills ensure that our team is well-prepared to respond swiftly and efficiently in case of an emergency, minimizing risks and ensuring the safety of all personnel and stakeholders. Our project managers are trained in crisis management and play a crucial role in coordinating effective responses to emergencies.
