Safety - Otis Eastern Service, LLC

SAFETY VISION

Excellent safety and health is no accident. It is the result of diligent work and careful attention paid to company policies by everyone, every day. Effective safety demands contribution and cooperation on everyone’s part to do a little better everywhere we see an opportunity – at work, at home, with a subcontractor partner, an owner, or even your boss; be respectful, show you care and offer to “optimize safety” – don’t wait.

Casey Joyce President and CEO

SAFETY CULTURE

Safety begins from your viewpoint; when you see something – you own it, communicate it and fix it. Don’t leave it thinking the next person will take care of it.

Communication up and down the ladder is everyone’s responsibility.

Planning for safe work is everyone’s job; be involved and work the plan.

You are your brother and sister’s keeper and they are yours; cooperation is key.

Give and receive feedback positively. If someone cares enough to help, you should too.

Safety is the mark of a professional, high-quality employee and a high-performance contractor.

ENVIRONMENT

With every project we undertake, no matter the scale, we’re committed to building our projects in a manner that protects the safety of our personnel and the environment.
