Year after year, MINCO continues to provide a Role Model when it comes to Safety. MINCO’s achievement of the 5-year ZER0 reportable incident did not come from vain. Within Minco Construction, Safety is not a Department in the structure; it is an engineered component of our work style. Safety is a value that is fundamental to our culture. Year after year, our zero accidents philosophy helps put our safety performance right at the top of the industry.
We believe that every accident, and therefore every injury, is preventable, and we embed that philosophy into every MINCO project through a combination of technical field procedures and ongoing training programs. Every employee has stop-work authority—if it's not safe, don't do it. We also ask our subcontractors and partners to adopt our commitment to safety and health. The result is exceptional safety performance, even in hazardous work environments, severe weather, and remote locations.
Our Tailgate training sessions exceed those required by CAL/OSHA. At MINCO, we perform weekly tailgate meetings. Our safety curriculum is unified across our projects so that employees, who move from one project to the other, receive the same training received by other employees on site. Employees also receive safety orientation when they first join a project. The Safety Manager guides the new crew member on the hazards pertain to the type of work performed on site.
Gift Cards, letters of appreciation, and Lunch with the President, are the methods we rely on to create a positive attitude towards Safety. At MINCO, we worked with Safety experts and consultants to develop, implement, and continuously evaluate MINCO SAFETY PROGRARAMS- Examples are:
- Minco Injury and Illness Prevention Program
- MINCO Confined Space Program
- MINCO Reparatory Protection Program
- MINCO Emergency Response Plan
- MINCO Hazard Communication Program
- MINCO Lockout- Tagout Program
- MINCO Site Specific Plans
- MINCO Heat Illness Prevention Plans
- MINCO Fall Protection Plan
- MINCO Code of Safe Practices
