November 11, 2022

Worker safety and health is a top priority for mechanical contractors. MCAA’s Company Safety Programs reviews ten basic components that should be covered in every company safety program, regardless of company size, giving contractors food for thought as they review their own company’s program.

The bulletin covers:

  • The components of a corporate safety policy
  • The importance of a corporate commitment to safety that has the buy-in of leaders and workers alike
  • Worker training requirements
  • The importance of a disciplinary action policy
  • The components of a safety incentive program
  • The importance of substance abuse and drug testing
  • The components of a work site hazard analysis
  • Accident/incident investigation’s role in preventing future accidents/incidents
  • The importance of modified duty policies to getting workers on the job and saving the company money
