At Edward Kraemer & Sons, we're committed not only to reducing
the frequency, severity, and cost of incidents and injuries, but
also to creating an environment where they do not occur. To meet
this commitment, we promote and foster a culture of Safe Production.
In this "Safe Production" culture, safety is
never sacrificed for production or cost savings. Instead, safety
and production are seen as one and the same, creating a safe and
productive job site.
The success of our safety program in the Safe Production
culture depends on the safety and well being of each employee.
To achieve this, we obtain the commitment and support of all employees
to work safely. We train employees in expected safety behaviors
and empower them to stop production should a safety concern arise.
The training and empowerment of our employees is the cornerstone
of the Safe Production culture—a culture we are committed
to maintaining well after our goal of zero losses is achieved.
