CORPORATE SAFETY

A. D. Willis Company, Inc. is committed to the safety of our employees, our customers, and anyone in or around an A. D. Willis construction project.  Construction by nature, is a hazardous business.  A.D. Willis Co. recognizes this and has developed and implemented a comprehensive, in house safety program.  In keeping with the ever-changing needs of the construction industry, we utilize this safety program in our daily activities to ensure the safety of our employees and others affected by our work.

A. D. Willis’s safety program includes a complete safety manual, A. D. Willis’s Standard Training and Orientation Program (S.T.O.P.) and the A.D. Willis’s written Hazard Communication program are used in the initial training of every construction worker.    A. D. Willis’s 10-hour and 30-hour O.S.H.A. Construction Outreach programs are used in thoroughly training of all management and supervisory personnel.  In addition, these manuals available at every jobsite are used frequently to further train and prepare our labor force in safe construction practices.

Safety meetings called Toolbox Safety Meetings are held weekly at the job site during which supervisory personnel discuss safety topics specific to the job.  These meetings ensure that each member of the construction team makes safety a top priority.  A. D. Willis’s safety program is designed to adapt to various types of products and equipment.  Material Safety Data Sheets are available at the job site so all personnel can be well informed as to the potential dangers and safety measures recommended for each product.

Safety responsibility starts with each worker, continues with the foreman and/or project manager, and is overseen by the safety director.  The safety director is responsible for the implementation of the company safety program.  They work in conjunction with     A. D. Willis’s insurance carriers, supervise job site safety and conduct job site safety inspections.  Our safety director also prepares various reports to comply with regulatory procedures and restrictions.

The project foremen are responsible for the “middle management” implementation of    A. D. Willis’s safety program and work in conjunction with the safety director.  In the event of an accident on the job site, our foremen are trained in first aid and C.P.R.  However, we believe it is due to our well-established and strictly enforced safety training programs that we have been able to minimize the number of accidents on our job sites. A. D. Willis places safety as top priority at each and every job site.

Our policy is to provide a drug free work place for the employees of the A.D. Willis Company.   To maintain the high professional standards of the company’s workforce, we use pre-employment drug screening for all applicants, random testing and mandatory testing in the event of an accident.
