Practices of the Safest Contractors

Best practices:

(1) an effective substance abuse policy

(2) comprehensive new hire onboarding and orientation

(3) frequent and regular toolbox talks (start of day, after lunch, etc)

(4) safety policies and protocols should be enforced consistently and observed by all employees including supervisors and managers

(5) measurement and analysis of safety data with constant improvement

Contractors who follow these practices have a safety incident rate that is 7-fold less than the average for all contractors.
