How often is workplace safety discussed in your organization? Is it monthly? Annually? We perform audits daily. Under federal law, you are entitled to a safe workplace that is free of known health and safety hazards. In order to meet the standard, safety and quality are top priorities for every project. As a result, we hold a 90% customer retention rate. So, how do we maintain these high values?
It all starts with quality and safety audits.
For starters, we utilize safety audits. Audits are crucial in creating and maintaining a culture of safety and quality. Generally, we perform two different types of audits to make sure our values are implemented in every single project. First, routine audits are used to ensure our crew is meeting our high-quality standards. Additionally, safety audits verify that our safety measures are being followed. You can’t improve what you don’t measure. As a result of audits, we can provide feedback and allow crew involvement when addressing issues.
How does this help maintain success?
Through quality and safety audits, we are able to gather information we need to perform better. Once the data is collected, we thoroughly review it and make any necessary changes. For example, we ask a series of questions and test methods.
Additionally, we check to see if our training is successful. Once we verify, our team examines the proof of that on the job. If the answer is no, we will reevaluate our training methods. By paying close attention and practicing safety measures, we are several steps ahead in the event of an accident.
How do I promote a culture of safety and quality?
At Lanracorp, we’ve found that the best way to achieve a culture of safety and quality is to emphasize these values in everyday decisions. Our values are constantly communicated to the team. At our core, we believe the best companies are the ones who communicate daily. In addition, we make decisions upon our values. From there, we utilize procedures to ensure the safety culture is clear. If an employee notices a problem, we welcome them to throw a stop card. Additionally, our safety committee is open to anyone.
We involve everyone in safety and innovation. It’s a team approach. That’s the buy-in.
How are we continuously improving?
Safety is more than just a manual. Safety is continuous improvement and that calls for examining processes. One of our top priorities is evaluating task performance that can be in the direct line of fire. To better promote safety, we created the Innovate 4 Safety program. This program examines all aspects of these procedures. Is there a safer way to do this? Do we need new equipment? This is how we remove our crew from hazardous conditions and perform the job in the safest way possible.
