Health & Safety

Everyone goes home safe.

We put our people's safety first. No schedule or budget is worth compromising the well-being of anyone on a Jackman site.

Why it matters

Why Construction Safety Matters

Everyone deserves to go home safe at the end of the day. Every project deserves to be completed without injury.

How we work

What we can already stand behind

We can talk about health and safety on a public site before every certificate is in place. These are the parts of the program we highlight now, and we will add more as the work develops.

01
Training programs
People do not start work until they understand the job, the hazards, and how we expect them to work.
- Site orientation before tools come out
- Ongoing training for crews and trades
- The same expectations from job to job
02
Inspections and safe work procedure verifications
We check that safe work procedures are being followed, not only written down.
- Daily eyes on the work from our site team
- Verification of safe work procedures in the field
- Issues raised while there is still time to correct them
03
Safety personnel, equipment, and software
Health and safety has a dedicated owner, the equipment crews need, and software to keep the record honest.
- A Health & Safety Manager who plans, coaches, and follows up
- Equipment that supports safer work on site
- Safety software for inspections, orientations, and follow-up
