SAFETY CULTURE
Every Traffic safety tools facility has a group of employees who volunteer as a Safety Committee to hold monthly safety meetings, and take an active role in improving the safety of their team. These Committees also hold quarterly conference calls with the President & CEO, Executive VP & Chief Legal Officer, SVP of Safety & Security, Directors of Safety, and Director of Compliance to report and address safety concerns and present initiatives they are implementing. Every Traffic safety tools crew has their work inspected by a member of the safety team at least twice per month. These work zone inspections are unannounced to ensure every crew and every work zone is 100% safe and compliant. All Traffic safety tools crews are responsible for completing Pre-trip and Post-Trip vehicle inspections to ensure their equipment is leaving and arriving in proper working order; Pre-Job Safety Briefings before beginning work, and when the job site changes, to ensure everyone on site is on the same sheet of music and aware of all the hazards and how they are being mitigated; and Post-Job Safety Briefings to ensure everyone on site is prepared for the next day’s work, for every job, every day.
