BUILDING A SAFER TOMORROW
Partner with READIGOV for Excellence in Safety and Construction Management.
Standards, No Compromise!
There is no room for error in the construction industry. We work with trade partners who are bought into a safety culture to ensure aligned values from the start. We explore safety metrics outside of incident rate and experience modification rate (EMR) that can indicate a trade partner’s safety reliability and integrate predictive analytics into safety protocols to improve safety awareness programs.
Leadership | Communication
Have you heard the saying, “Safety is everyone’s responsibility?” Yes, this is a statement every workplace and agency should adopt. Our safety officers at READIGOV establish a clear framework to ensure everyone understands their role and responsibilities to prevent confusion and embrace accountability.
We empower our frontline workers to report near misses, hazards, and observations of at-risk behaviors and conditions through trust, technology, and the option to report anonymously. Allowing employees to document hazards, unsafe conditions, and near misses increases the likelihood of quickly and effectively identifying trends or problem areas that need attention.
Our team has a skill to gain buy-in by explaining the importance of the “why” behind safety rules. Our experts collaborate with your field team to understand what they need to work safely and productively. We include all parties in the system to identify job-specific risks and weaknesses early. We also focus on ensuring your employees are aware of and understand the regulations in place.
Promoting Mental Health
At READIGOV, our culture prioritizes the emotional and mental state of workers and promotes a supportive workplace. We take an active role engaging with the men and women on the job and implement support systems for workers to receive ongoing support. If workers are struggling, it is crucial that our team and the leadership are approachable and trusted.
Prioritize Preventing Life-Threatening Injuries
Our safety experts identify high-risk exposures to prevent serious injuries and fatalities through a formal safety program that aims to prevent serious incidents. By using a Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) program, we 1. can identify and investigate incidents and near misses by recognizing patterns and potential risks; 2. develop action plans to prevent similar incidents in the future; and 3. facilitate and improve communication about potential incidents and improve preventable measures.
We strive for a zero-injury result at project close. We research best practices that implement SIF programs. Key takeaways include 1. leadership commitment; 2. proactive identification of high-risk activities through risk assessments; 3. developing key indicators using a data-driven approach; and 4. a culture that emphasizes employee engagement and open communication with safety concerns.
