Safety Commitment
The Roberts Company has received three (3) outstanding safety performance
awards by the North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL). These
awards are given to firms with the lowest injury incident rate during
a given year. This Five Million Man
Hours - No Loss Time Accidents award is a positive
reflection of our management, field supervision and most importantly
our dedicated trades men and women working every day.
Our business is inherently dangerous. Since the founding of our
firm in 1977, our employees have always been the most important
asset in The Roberts Company family. Our employees' safety and well-being
are our #1 priority. At The Roberts Company, we understand that
a safe workplace does not just happen; it is the result of rigorous
planning, continuing training, implementation of policy, and management
commitment in combination with safe work behaviors revealed by our
employees. We have committed and have in place the necessary resources
to achieve this goal. We are committed to ensuring that our employees
are fully equipped to work safely at our facilities, or our Clients
facilities. Safety will always be the forethought of every project
we undertake, no matter the size or duration requirements.
Our safety program revolves around planning, communicating, observing,
and looking for ways to continually improve. Our program is the
foundation for safe work practices, and includes:
• Discussing and planning work assignments daily using The
Roberts Company Pretask Planning Information Sheet.
• Empowering all employees to stop work and notify a supervisor
if a threat to safety is observed.
• Conducting daily or weekly "Toolbox Safety Talks."
• Conducting Project Audit Inspection Reports
• Providing OSHA 10-Hour Training for all of our supervisors.
We plan our safety culture into our everyday activities. In doing
so, working safely has become natural to our employees.
