Irwin & Leighton, Inc.


Safety & Loss Prevention


Safety is a primary focus of Irwin & Leighton’s overall operations. The goal of our Safety & Loss Prevention Program is to establish and maintain safe working environments for employees, subcontractors, visitors and the public on all of our project sites. We take the proactive approach that it is the responsibility of everyone involved to strive for an accident free project and to minimize the potential loss of life, injury, property damage or loss of productive time that can occur in an unsafe environment.


The Safety & Loss Prevention Program is reinforced in several important ways:

1.

Our general liability insurance carrier visits each major project quarterly and reports its findings and recommendations directly to Irwin & Leighton’s senior officers.

2.

Project Superintendents complete weekly job site safety surveys and report their findings to company officers.

3.

Project Superintendents are required to be OSHA 30-hour certified.

4.

Supervisory personnel are trained and certified by the Red Cross in First Aid and CPR. The CPR certification is renewed annually.

5.

An active Safety Committee, composed of office and field personnel, regularly reviews the Safety & Loss Prevention Program and makes recommendations to Irwin & Leighton’s management for improvements.
