Bragg Safety
A Core Value
At Bragg Companies, Safety is not just a requirement, it’s one of our core values. We know the strength of our business and our reputation in the industry is based on our employees, so keeping them and those we work around safe is of the utmost importance. Our full time, in-house health and safety team works collaboratively across all our divisions as well as with operations, engineering, company leadership, and our customers to mitigate risk and ensure regulatory compliance.
Bragg’s Corporate Health and Safety Program (CHSP) drives our goal of continuous improvements in safety performance.
Our priority is for all our employees to get home safely to their families; for this reason, we launched Your Family Needs You Campaignthrough training, recognition programs, stickers, posters, talking points and so much more. We are continually reminding all of our employees to be alert, aware and not complacent.
With this campaign we are also looking to strengthen trust, in our leadership, in our teammates and in ourselves. Trust is a leading principle for safety success. It is in an environment of trust that our teams will feel able to communicate. Communicate their thoughts, their expertise, and most notably, when a situation or job site is not safe.
On our jobsites, in our offices, and in our working behavior, we need to think of safety first. This means not rushing in our work, not taking short cuts for the sake of time. We need to think first of our own safety and the safety of our colleagues.
Elements of the CHSP include:
- 3rd party validated written policies and procedures.
- A written Stop Work Authority (SWA) Policy that empowers our employees to take action to mitigate at-risk conditions and behaviors, without fear of retribution; effective use of SWA is rewarded and recognized throughout the Company.
- Pre-job hazard analysis (JHA), daily Task Hazard Analysis (THA), and Tailgate safety meeting processes to identify and mitigate hazards.
- Field safety audits for all crane and rigging and all other jobs performed by Operations, Technical, and Safety Staff to ensure alignment with regulatory standards, company policies and best practices.
