Safety is a Mindset at R. Baker & Son

Every construction project is different, from site to site, in size and scope, and in the overall approach to safe work practices. Where many projects take safety very seriously, plenty of others are particularly lacking in that area. 

You’ve seen it before and can usually spot it right away. The site is dirty and disorganized, the lighting is poor, and safety signage is lacking. Workers are openly breaking basic safety rules, wearing their PPE incorrectly, or not wearing it at all. The overall environment is lax, and even normally conscientious workers become careless in their behavior. This is how accidents occur. 

On the flip side, a construction site with a high safety ethos is often immediately apparent, from marked parking areas, to clear signs on safety rules and procedures, to delineated muster areas, to mandatory onboard safety training. Where good safety is demonstrated, safe work habits naturally follow. 

Workers in a safety-conscious environment, whether they’re project managers or junior apprentices, become empowered to call out unsafe behavior when they see it. Fellow workers are likely to follow suit because they recognize that it’s the right thing to do. 

Safety is an ingrained part of the work culture here at R. Baker & Son, and we have a safety record that consistently exceeds industry standards to prove it. On projects where safety is emphasized and practiced, workers across multiple trades will emulate the good example set by others and overall project safety is improved.
