Employees are GEI’s greatest asset and are the foundation of our safety program. Our safety program promotes and maintains a safe workplace for employees, clients and all of our partners. Our safety program includes:
- Site-specific Health & Safety plans for projects
- Daily safety briefings prior to the start of any field work
- A comprehensive training program throughout employee’s careers
- Regular communications and metrics to raise awareness
- Starting meetings with a “safety minute”
- Prompt incident reporting to provide appropriate care and to mitigate additional risk
- “Near miss” reporting to help prevent future incidents
Our Safety team, led by our Director, Safety/Corporate Safety Officer, includes a staff of dedicated safety professionals who are passionate about supporting and protecting our employees, clients, and partners. Each branch also has a designated Safety Representative committed to regularly engaging others on safety. In addition to our team, our Executive team-sponsored Safety Committee is comprised our President/CEO, COO, Senior Vice President – People & Safety (Chair) and a variety of other senior leaders and employees from across our company.
Recently, our employees ranked our safe work environment as the highest scoring item on our employee survey. At GEI, safety is not just a word – it’s part of who we are.
