Safety

At Martin Brothers Construction: "We Own Safety". MBC's goal for every job is "Zero Incidents" and is reflected by our impressive Experience Modification Rate (EMR). Our first rule of safety is: “Never walk past an unsafe act or condition.” 

Safety performance is the most visible sign of construction excellence and Martin Brothers’ impeccable record of safety speaks for itself.  Our safety policy is to provide a safe workplace for employees and to protect the public and client from the hazards associated with construction activities. Martin Brothers’ has been recognized by the Engineering & Utility Contractors Association as a Safety Award Program Winner and by NAVFAC Southwest as a STAR Contractor Safety Award Winner.

There are four cornerstones that Martin Brothers incorporates into every aspect of a project: Planning, Training, Attitude, and Accountability.  Each employee must:

• Develop, review and implement viable work plans that incorporate safety and safe operations.
• Participate in all training sessions including daily, weekly and monthly safety meetings and other special training that creates and perpetuates an accident-free environment.
• Accept responsibility to plan, organize and perform work in the safest manner possible, consistent with sound practices.
• Maintain constant “zero tolerance” attitude to identify and eliminate unsafe acts and conditions by correcting them immediately.

Martin Brothers’ on-site project team is supported by highly experienced off-site management and resources to ensure a well-executed job.  In addition, Martin Brothers assigns a Safety Manager to every project.  The selection of a project Safety Manager is accomplished by matching scope of work to individual qualifications and experience.  The Safety Manager is always available to assist the project team as needed. 

Proper individual safety training is also a key factor in MBC's low EMR and reflects comitment at every level of the organization to safe practices in project delivery.
