SAFETY
Our Safety Promise
“Shanco recognizes that behaviors are a key component of the safety equation. Behavior Based Safety programs have been shown to increase awareness of safety expectations to contribute toward continuous improvement in safety performance and lead to achieving the desired safety goals and targets. Shanco utilizes Behavioral Based Observation cards to ensure all employees share their on-the-job observations on a regular basis. This allows the Safety Coordinator to identify safety strengths as well as to increase awareness for improvement.”
QUICK LINKS
Shanco believes in a safety culture that each employee has proper training. More importantly, each employee is the core of the safety culture. Every employee is included in the process to identify and mitigate work hazards by developing safe work procedures for each and every job, every day. All employees participate in a weekly training conducted by their supervisor/leader and monthly safety meetings.
Our training creates the awareness.
The awareness creates the opportunity.
The opportunity allows each employee to be engaged in creating a safety culture.
Shanco has experienced tremendous growth since the birth of the company in 2010. Coupled with our commitment to growth is our commitment to our staff’s development and to maintain a “Zero Incident” culture.
Leadership Commitment
Shanco invests heavily in leadership development in relation to HSE because we believe that we lead from the front, not push from behind. Our leaders are required to complete HSE training. This training explains Shanco’s philosophy, program, and expectations for health, safety, and environmental success. Leaders are also required to complete our OSHA 30 course and other pertinent training in order to be successful in their positions. They identify and mitigate work hazards by developing safe work procedures for each and every job. They are the primary trainers of their division. Finally, they team with the HSE Department to improve the compliance performance of their employees.
Training Commitment / Key to Success
Shanco believes that training in the HSE area is key to success. We couple our new employee orientation training with our OSHA 10 and PEC Safeland training. All employees participate in a weekly training conducted by their supervisor/leader and our monthly safety meetings. We continually evaluate and upgrade our training to stay ahead of the desires of our customers and our own goal to develop a highly professional workforce.
Results / Path to Success
The dramatic growth experienced by Shanco has been matched by our success in the areas of HSE compliance. The dramatic reduction of workplace injuries and lost time - places us squarely on the path to success and our goal of a “Zero Incident” culture.
