Safety
A safe, injury-free workplace is as important as workmanship and quality. Rain Proof’s safety commitment includes identifying hazards, educating our employees, training for safety and expecting compliance. Rain Proof Roofing maintains a drug-free workplace. All construction employees are drug- and -alcohol tested before employment. Quarterly drug testing is random and all post-incident/ testing- for-cause policies are reviewed with employees.
Rain Proof requires foreman, superintendents and project managers to attend our preseason safety and prevention seminar. Employees review and practice state, industry and regulatory standards, and operation procedures. Topics include proper barricades, fire watch, fall prevention, equipment safety, MSDS Manuals, incident reporting and job-site security. Every new Rain Proof employee completes and passes a five-hour, intensive safety class. The class teaches prevention, situational awareness, job site familiarity and incident reporting procedures. Weekly safety meetings between management and field crews include identifying specific job site safety needs, reviewing Job Hazard Analysis assessments, and (verifying) documenting jobsite safety inspections.
Within the last five years Rain Proof received the ConocoPhillips Health and Safety Excellence Award and the Wells Fargo Excellence in Safety Award. Rain Proof’s 2018 EMR rate is .85.
