Safety Program

Our Safety, Our Priority

Our people are the foundation of everything we do at Rusin. That’s why their safety isn’t just a priority, it’s our responsibility.

Our comprehensive safety program is built around one simple principle: every team member deserves to return home safely to their family each day. We achieve this through clear, practical procedures tailored specifically to the concrete construction industry, comprehensive OSHA-standard training, and a culture where safety concerns are heard and addressed immediately.

Because when our people are protected, our projects succeed.

Daily Huddles

Every morning, our teams gather to discuss the day’s tasks, identify potential hazards, and review safety measures. These discussions ensure every crew member understands safety expectations and their role in maintaining a safe work environment.

Our supervisors conduct weekly safety education sessions tailored to our operations. These discussions reinforce best practices, address site-specific concerns, and provide ongoing training that keeps our crews informed and prepared.

Hazard Recognition

Everyone has a voice in safety at Rusin. We empower every team member to identify hazards, speak up about concerns, and stop unsafe acts or when conditions are unsafe. Our open communication culture values observations and suggestions, creating a proactive approach that protects everyone on site.

New Hire Safety Orientation

All new employees complete a comprehensive orientation that covers Rusin-specific safety policies and procedures. Upon assignment to their project site, shop, or office, a foreman or supervisor conducts an additional safety orientation using our standardized checklists to ensure full compliance before the employee begins work.

Monthly Safety Calls

Monthly safety calls keep our foremen, leads, and staff aligned on critical updates. These sessions cover regulatory changes, incident lessons learned, and reinforce company-wide safety priorities across all operations.
