Safety Is Always First

At Kalmar Construction, the safety and well-being of our team and partners are paramount. For our employees, we provide comprehensive orientation, ticketing, training, and education to ensure they are well-prepared for their roles. Our focus on job-specific safe work practices and procedures, alongside a restricted work program, guarantees that employees can continue to work safely, even during recovery periods.

For our subcontractors, we uphold a unified approach to safety across all sites. This means that every individual working on our projects, including subcontractor employees, is integrated into our safety culture. They participate in on-site training meetings and inspections, ensuring that everyone is aligned with our high safety standards and practices. This collaborative approach to safety ensures a consistent and secure environment for all involved in our projects.

Knowledge Is Everything

Kalmar Construction prioritizes safety through regular meetings and meticulous record-keeping. Our daily Toolbox Talks, essential tailgate meetings held before the commencement of any work, are mandatory for all trades and personnel under our direction. These meetings are critical for identifying hazards and communicating control measures to ensure the safety of those engaged in related activities. Continuous monitoring, documentation, and control of identified hazards are integral to maintaining safety and compliance on our sites.

Regarding records, we meticulously document and track all injuries and incidents to identify trends and prevent future occurrences. Our evacuation procedures and data are regularly evaluated to discern patterns or hazards, enhancing our preemptive safety measures. Discussions of near-miss incidents are vital, as they help us learn from these experiences to prevent recurrence and avoid potential injuries. Additionally, we maintain rigorous standards for equipment and tool operation and maintenance, ensuring the safety and efficiency of our worksites.
