Safety

Focused on Safety

Our expert Grote Safety Services team helps southwest Ohio and Kentucky construction companies build and maintain great safety cultures. To create a safety culture, we focus on three critical areas:

  • People
  • Workplace environment
  • Human and Organizational Performance Improvement (HPIteams)

How we maintain exceptional safety

We help our clients attain and maintain exceptional safety by helping them understand that:

  • Workers are not a problem to be controlled, they are a solution that needs to be utilized.
  • Any system that relies on 100% perfect human performance is flawed.
  • Workers do not cause accidents. Workers trigger weaknesses that already exist within the organization.
  • People are fallible, but there are tools to improve human performance.
  • You have to look beyond compliance and human error to find the root cause.
  • It’s just as important to understand how work is accomplished safely as it is to understand how work leads to injuries.

We will grow our safety awareness and then recognize the contributions of those employees in support of this proactive safety culture. We will continually seek innovative ways to build upon our core safety values.

Our Safety Philosophy

Exceptional safety performance is a direct result of the organizational culture. To achieve a viable safety culture, safety must be internalized by each individual within the organization. Once safety is internalized it becomes a core value of the individual, and core values cannot be compromised. Therefore, safety is a value associated with every priority.
