SAFETY IMPLEMENTATION
TRAINING
Burke prioritizes safety by offering top-notch training to our employees, trade partners and clients. We ensure that all team members have the latest information and resources needed to maintain a safe work environment across all jobsites.
- All project team members are required to obtain OSHA 30 certification and undergo training to identify potential hazards. We empower our staff to proactively address safety risk and eliminate dangerous conditions or behaviors.
- Before each Burke project, our team conducts site-specific safety orientations. All project employees and trade partners are required to attend.
- At Burke, safety is everyone’s business. Our team is led by OSHA 500-certified members and is supported by the entire executive team. We diligently employ proven systematic safety techniques and practices to prioritize the health and well-being of our staff and resolve conflicts effectively.
COLLABORATION
Burke relentlessly prioritizes safety on and off-site. Our safety committee requires staff participation in hazard identification and elimination tasks at every jobsite, led by the project superintendent and involves all team members.
- Daily Job Hazard Analyses are conducted at the start of each shift, allowing staff to identify risks and eliminate all hazards prior to the start of daily operations.
- Tool Box Talks are held regularly at each project site, allowing team members to discuss potential hazards and solutions to consistently eliminate all risks.
- Regular project safety walks and meetings empower superintendents and staff to identify mitigation and elimination strategies for safety hazards.
INNOVATION
With the help of our Virtual Design & Construction team, we implement the use of drones in our safety management program. Our drone pilots capture images of a project site prior to the start of construction, allowing the project team to draft a safety plan according to site specific logistics prior to the start of construction. This technique decreases the number of potential hazards on a job site.
