Safety is about process. Much of Frontier’s work is making sure that injuries don’t happen. We ensure that workers follow procedure, maintain equipment, and use the correct safety equipment. When events do occur, we document them for records and continuous improvement. Our commitment to process is a commitment to the safety of your workers: below are just some of the services that help ensure that your workers and your company are as safe as possible.
General Duties
- Every site worker is given a comprehensive orientation. New and young workers receive a different orientation to ensure they fully integrate into company process and culture.
- Frontier ensures that Accident, Incident, and Near Miss reports are filled out by the proper companies. Subcontractor reports are rolled into a comprehensive report for Frontier’s records. Frontier superintendent is informed of mitigating steps until incident is resolved and the final report is delivered.
- Frontier ensures that all violations of safety rules are formally reported to subcontractor and Frontier superintendent.
