The program

How safety is organized

  • Leadership. One Environmental Health & Safety Director and eight Safety Advisors with backgrounds in environmental consulting, demolition, insurance, remediation, and health and safety.
  • Accountability. A Safety Accountability Program holds every employee, at every level, to the behaviors required for employment at Select.
  • Field oversight. Daily jobsite inspections, weekly audits and summary reports, weekly toolbox talks, and visits to more than 60 active jobsites each week.
  • Training. In-house programs covering aerial lifts, asbestos, silica, PCB and lead awareness, fall protection, scaffolding, first aid/CPR/AED, and confined space, with an emphasis on reporting and injury management.
  • Review. A Safety Leadership Team meets quarterly to review practices, near misses, and injuries. Monthly foremen meetings carry the findings to the field.
  • Executive involvement. Executive management makes weekly jobsite visits and performs safety audits. Ownership funds safety initiatives as a standing priority.
