Safety

RKS Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. employees are our most valuable resource. Recognizing this, management has directed employee safety and health practice be integrated into every project performed. This is achieved via the RKS Safety Management Program (the Program).

The Program is developed and maintained to address RKS' specific operational needs. It features in-house OSHA Certified Training, competent person certification and new hire orientation/mentorship.

Foreman meetings are held each week at RKS headquarter's to actively manage company safety. Recent safety "hot" topics, foreman training, effectiveness evaluation, and adjustments are reviewed and implemented at these meetings.

Jobsite safety includes project hazard analysis, task specific training, and worker project updates and awareness delivered through weekly "toolbox" discussion/feedback meetings.

Select employees receive competency training in key areas to support and stabilize job site safety.

New hires are monitored through a Colored Hardhat Indentification Program(CHIP's) and provided guidance through training mentors. The RKS Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. Safety Program is continuously managed through internal and external feedback, adjustment, employee recognition, and re-training as necessary.

RKS works closely with its insurance provider (SCF Premier) to measure and evaluate safety effectiveness and determine program adjustment.

Safety Director,

Jim Shiers
