Each Site Superintendent—or Assistant Superintendent if that is the senior site position—is responsible to conduct weekly safety training sessions with all field personal under that individual’s authority. Such meetings may be coordinated by the Carter & Carter Safety and Health Manager for assistance in such presentations, but the responsibility remains with the senior Carter & Carter site representative.
Topics will be relevant and timely with respect to the perceived current needs and all general concerns. Attendance will be recorded by signature, and be kept on-file by the Safety and Health Manager. Persistent absences by any Carter & Carter employee will be recorded and the information distributed to that employee’s personnel record.
The Tailgate Safety Meeting is a 10 to 15 minute discussion, conducted for the purposes of:
- Disseminating information included in the regular Safety Meetings.
- Reviewing jobsite safety and cleanup conditions and establishment of corrective measures.
- Discussion of specific safety items for the training and education of all tradespeople. When possible, the items should be relevant to some observed job condition and ongoing work practices, but they can be of random nature as well.
