Safety Program
Safety is a Core Value
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.
Safety Program
Our Safety Program has several key components of Engagement. These engagements help keep our people involved in our safety program.
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.
Specific Weekly Toolbox Topics
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.
Safety Committee
Our safety committee includes representatives from craft, shop, office, and field operations. Meeting twice monthly, this diverse team visits the projects to communicate information, reviews incidents, and channels crew feedback to continuously improve our safety programs.
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.
