Employee driven safety culture, people taking care of each other
Our employee driven safety culture has developed over the years as a way to for our people to take care of each other. Our systems of Behavior Based Safety, Risk Assessment, Near Miss Identification and our Twelve Steps to Fatality Elimination, put the sole focus on our employees returning home to their families each day healthy. We truly believe that a safe work environment pays dividends to our customers, shareholders, and especially, our employees.
At Cadillac Asphalt, safety and health cannot simply be words on paper or activities merely driven by regulations. The safety, health, and well being of our employees, our customers and all of those that come in contact with our work is always our first consideration. Safety and Health remains a primary cornerstone of the overall business strategy and expectations throughout our companies.
Our mission on health and safety is demonstrated through our Safety Core Values:
- Zero Fatalities
- Zero Incidents
- Employee Driven Safety Culture
Our most cherished assets are our employees. There is nothing more important than ensuring their safety and health each and every working day. Michigan Paving and Materials provides the training, tools, and confidence our employees need to be successful at their jobs.
Cadillac Asphalt is Awarded The Liv Levy Annual Safety Award for 2010.
This “roving” trophy is presented by The Edward C. Levy Company to the organization with the best safety performance in the past 12 months. The award scoring is based on the following criteria:
- Total Recordable Incident Rate vs the Industry National Average.
- Lost Time Incident Rate (measuring how fast lost time accidents are occurring).
- Severity Rate (measuring the lost time accident severity in lost days).
- Number of days since last lost-time accident (measuring how long the performance is sustained).
The four criteria method is designed to go beyond having just one measurement, and, instead measures an organization’s performance in the areas of both total recordable and lost-time accidents.
Based upon the criteria listed above, the winner of the award has one year’s worth of “bragging” rights. Last year’s winner, Indiana Flame Service, wanted very badly to repeat but recognized how difficult it is to maintain the levels required to win a second time in a row.
