Safety

D-A-S Construction Co.'s dedication to creating a safe work environment begins with the encouragement of its employees to take a proactive approach to safety. Due to D-A-S' commitment to safety, the company celebrates over 853 man hours without a lost time claim, and has received numerous awards for its safety program. In comparison with the National Averages, D-A-S has far surpassed the standards for job site safety and lost time claims.

D-A-S' Safety Team includes a cross functional team of representatives from Senior Management, the Safety Department, Cabinet Shop and Field Operations. This team is headed by D-A-S' Safety Officer, who has participated in extensive training and educational programs and is fully versed in all current safety regulations for both on-site projects and in office construction shop conduct.

The Safety Officer and Safety Team are responsible for executing the guidelines and duties outlined within D-A-S' company policies, as well as implementing what they've learned through their training. The team meets, at a minimum, quarterly to review current safety issues and to assist in the development of long-term plans for the proactive growth of the program. "Safety Tool Box Talks" are also given by Supervisors on a weekly basis along with site safety inspections. During "Safety Tool Box Talks", D-A-S Supervisors address general and specific safety issues with all the individuals working on the project site.

The Safety Officer's duties also include the maintenance of all required posting and reporting, assembly of the yearly safety budget, and ensuring the overall integrity of the company's Safety Program. It is the Safety Officer and Safety Team's duty as well to assist those on disability through D-A-S' Transitional Work program, maintained by employees based on the guidelines set forth by the Ohio BWC. "The Transitional Work Program has been implemented to promote the best interest and employability of injured workers."
