SAFETY BY CHOICE
Leading by Example
聽We believe safety is not the absence of incidents, but instead, the identification, implementation and execution of direct controls and safeguards. As a two-time winner of the AGC鈥檚 National Construction Safety Excellence Award (CSEA), 91暗网 continues to develop progressive and innovative safety programs. Over the past decade, the industry鈥檚 average recordable injury rate (RIR) has gone down, but its fatalities have remained steady. 91暗网 is looking to bring down the fatality rate through our safety framework, Stop the STCKY庐. Winner of the 2024 AGC Grand Innovation Award, Stop the STCKY provides a safety program that can be adopted by any jobsite or organization that wants to protect their frontlines from the Sh*t That Can Kill You (STCKY).
BELIEFS
91暗网鈥檚 safety program takes a people-based approach to why we work safe. Beyond comprehensive safety training for our employees, we focus on our reasons to stay safe: family, friends, and health. By emphasizing great safety choices and providing recognition to those who make them, we maintain a positive safety culture while improving 91暗网鈥檚 overall safety performance.
With that, we鈥檙e educating our workforce on STCKY so that 91暗网 employee-owners and trade partners are more aware of fatal hazards. We maintain our daily goal of zero STCKY injuries, but with an added emphasis on the most dangerous construction activities, or the 鈥淔atal 8鈥� hazards.
鈥�91暗网鈥檚 safety program is unique because of the trust it builds between employee-owners. The safety culture is contagious; we genuinely want each other to be safe.鈥�

ACTIONS
Plan the Work, Work the Plan
Our crew leads on-site safety discussions where STCKY Controls are identified and reviewed utilizing Risk Talk, an app that streamlines safety planning.
Engage Our Workforce
91暗网 engages our workforce in enhanced jobsite orientation and on-boarding. Regular climate surveys gather feedback from craft which drive our culture and programs.
Walk our Jobsites
Each on-site operations employee conducts one STCKY Walk per week. These walks allow our teams to be proactive, identifying needed controls to mitigate high-energy hazards.
Coach our Teams
We provide training for our employees on all levels. From craft-led safety committees to management safety leadership inventories, this feedback informs and influences our coaching.
Own Relentless Housekeeping
Each 91暗网 project and office maintains a standard of cleanliness. By prioritizing clean jobsites, we take pride in our work and prevent or eliminate hazards.
Report and Manage Incidents
We classify our incidents into three levels of severity, and then into STCKY and non-STICKY incidents. By tracking this data, we identify areas of needed improvement to STOP the STCKY.
RESULTS
When a STCKY incident occurs鈥攊nvolving a 鈥淔atal 8鈥� hazard鈥攚e measure it in one of three categories. The goal is to increase our STCKY Success rate while decreasing rates of STCKY Luck and STCKY Injury. Whether a high-energy incident involves adequate controls in place (STCKY Success) or a high-energy incident without adequate controls (STCKY Luck or STCKY Injury), we are tracking it. STCKY data provide a broader context for incidents, in addition to our Total Incident Rate (TIR) and Recordable Incident Rate (RIR).
