SAFETY

SAFETY BUILT IN

Safety starts long before anyone steps onto a project site. We know what it takes to keep all stakeholders safe onsite, and understand that accident prevention is an investment that pays extraordinary returns. We actively work to build in safety measures and eliminate risks while a job is in the estimating and preconstruction phases, and all projects are estimated to include safe means & methods. While the project is ongoing, Aristeo also manages and provides safety orientations to all owners, subcontractors, suppliers, and employees onsite, which adds up to 6,000+ safety orientations annually. 

SAFETY LEADERSHIP

We encourage all of our team members to Be a Safety Leader, and ensure they are certified through OSHA, and trained via our in-house safety program and the MUST (Management and Unions Serving Together) Safety Program. We have also taken the industry-leading step to implement an additional level of safety certification for our team – the Safety Trained Supervisor Construction (STSC) certification, governed by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. This certification ensures that our eligible jobsite leadership are fully prepared and empowered to advocate for safety and proactively plan for a safe project.

These efforts, and many more, have differentiated Aristeo as a safety leader within the industry – and as a safety leader we are proud to have been called upon to speak as an expert on a variety of safety topics at multiple customer events.

EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT & ENGAGEMENT

At Aristeo, safety is not simply a process to follow – it is embedded into our culture and championed by all of our employees. Our Everyone Goes Home safety culture encourages all of our employees to Be a Safety Leader, and rewards positive and proactive safety behavior through our Good Catch Program. Our Good Catch Program not only engages our workforce, but also helps our team to identify leading indicators that we use for continuous improvement initiatives. We empower every employee, subcontractor, and customer on the job, regardless of level, with Stop Work Authority – allowing them to halt work whenever they see unsafe conditions. We also host an annual Safety Kickoff event every January, where we bring all of our employees in for a day of celebrating safety successes, encouraging an engaged workforce across all trades, reviewing lessons learned, and recommitting to safety for the upcoming year.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

We recognize that safety is an ever evolving journey, one that requires constant learning through continual process improvements. We proactively rework tasks, process flows, implement proprietary processes, and prioritize critical safety data tracking and analysis across jobsites.

We also created an in-house Safety Committee, which includes management, field leadership, and a rotating contingent of field personnel from different trades, bringing different perspectives on safe means and methods applicable to their trades. The committee travels across job sites to champion safety for all of our field employees. The committee provides consistent planning, continuous training, and encourages the proper safety attitude for every employee.
