Our Safety Program
The purpose of Ranger Construction’s safety program is to minimize risk and increase efficiency by ensuring a safe working environment. The guiding principles of our program are:
- All injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable
- Abide by all federal, state and local regulations as they pertain to construction
- The corporate culture of safety is a management responsibility
- Construction and operating exposures can be prudently mitigated
- Line management has a responsibility to continually train employees to work safely
- Preventing injuries and incidents is good business
- Working safely is a condition of employment
Our in-house Safety Officer is responsible for enforcing the safety program on a daily basis. The Safety Officer, as well as many Ranger employees, is trained in First Aid/CPR, excavation and trenching, and the hazardous communication program. Further the Safety Officer is also responsible for enforcing:
- Documented weekly safety education and awareness meetings
- Inspections of job-sites to make immediate corrections of any unsafe conditions
- Orientation and safety briefings for all new employees (including employees transferred from other job-sites)
- Appropriate use of personal protective equipment
- Proper operation of tools and equipment
