At Encore Pavement, an expert concrete company in Wichita, Kansas, our team prides itself on our continuous commitment to safety with industrial-grade projects. Because working with concrete can pose a potential risk to employees, we take added precautions to ensure the well-being of our crews while delivering the highest quality final product for our customers. Learn more about our continued commitment to safety and find out how we keep our team safe on the job site!
Provide Proper Protective Equipment
For each project we undertake, our team takes pride in following all safety guidelines set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), in addition to implementing practices specific to our company. With this comes wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Because exposure to concrete dust can irritate an individual’s nose, eyes, throat, and respiratory system, we ensure all team members are equipped with the proper protection. This not only reduces the chances of developing any lung injuries but also helps mitigate the potential for chemical burns due to exposed skin. At Encore Pavement, we aim to minimize the chance of dust exposure before it occurs to protect our crews, in addition to ensuring they are equipped with safety goggles, boots and gloves, and full-length pants and shirts.
Assess Job Site Hazards
Not only are concrete paving companies responsible for ensuring the safety of crews and employees, but they are also responsible for ensuring the safety of all job site users, such as customers, clients, and tenants. Before each project, our team develops an efficient phasing plan specific to the project requirements and specifications. By assessing potential job site hazards and instituting safety signs and cones that guide the flow of traffic, we are able to ensure all pedestrians are distanced from exposure to sparks, fumes, or debris while the business still remains functional for everyday use. Communication is key when working on a construction site, so you can expect our crews to remain communicative for each project, voicing any hazards that workers may encounter while on the job site.
Employ Industry Professionals
One of the ways Encore Pavement is able to deliver on its commitment to safety is by hiring experienced crew members! Our team is comprised of top-of-the-line industry professionals who are passionate about the work they do, which extends to keeping our crews safe. Our leadership team invests in employee development, expanding knowledge and experience, as it benefits not only each individual employee but our company overall. By carefully selecting individuals with the drive and experience necessary to contribute to our quality workmanship, Encore Pavement can better ensure the safety of all employees and job site users.
