Safety

At G.H. McCulloch, Inc., we pride ourselves on achieving extraordinarily high safety ratings. Led by a trained staff of safety professionals, we have one of the strongest safest records in our entire industry. That’s a credit not only to our leadership, but to the men and women who carry out arduous tasks for us on a daily basis.

More than that, it is our prerogative that the safety and wellbeing of our employees is considered the number one aspect for any and all operations. G.H. McCulloch, Inc. remains committed to an accident-free workplace by taking necessary precautions for each employee and project, which includes never exposing an employee to an unnecessary hazard or putting them in harm’s way.

Our goal is to combine property training to our already knowledgeable and responsible project teams, to maintain an active, upfront management style, and to ensure that our supervisory staff is both well-trained and attentive. These actions, in combination with sound project planning, will help us eliminate accidents and injuries altogether.

Using Predictive Solutions

The basic idea behind predictive solutions is that we reduce or prevent on-the-job accidents by predicting how they could possibly happen before they ever actually do. This will allow us to correctly identify behaviors or hazards that could impact a strong safety culture.

Predictive solutions also allow G.H. McCulloch, Inc. to properly study and observe safety measures in and around our jobsites. This helps us narrow down frequency and location of common workplace injuries. This information can then be used to dramatically reduce injuries, while increasing productivity and overall business effectiveness.

Mitigating Risk

We employ constant vigilance when it comes to reducing risk and following safety protocols. Though not everything can be accounted for, we take three measured steps to protect ourselves and our personnel:

  • Avoid risk entirely by eliminating precarious tasks or events
  • Reduce exposure to risk by proper planning and management
  • Transfer/Alleviate risk through use of appropriate insurance agencies

Overall, our goal is to create a goal to reduce risk, and then take proactive steps to attain these actionable items. Each step provides our employees with safer work environments, provides cost-effective solutions for our and our clients’ businesses, and increases overall productivity.
