SAFETY COMMITTED

Safety Culture

Since 2014, Aldridge has been on a mission to reshape the way we look at safety. With the implementation of our Incident and Injury Free (IIF) program, there was a big shift in our safety culture. Today, our IIF journey continues with the infusion of “Making Safe Decisions®” - a psychological approach to recognizing exposures that can lead to incidents or injuries.

We believe that relationships are the foundation of all of our accomplishments and that drives our culture of care and concern. Safety is not just a program, it is a mindset that we carry with us every day. We strive to be best-in-class and are always looking for areas of improvement.

Aldridge has a long track record of prioritizing safety on our projects. Even when challenges arise, our clients know they can count on Aldridge to put safety first.

Enhanced Work Policies

This year, our craft voice teams recognized potential hazards and worked with project leaders and management to improve our Method of Procedure (MOP), Line Clearance Permit (LCP), and Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) policies. These improved tools will help eliminate exposures to maintain safe and reliable work areas.

Fall Protection

Our comprehensive fall protection plan mandates a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) and perimeter protection for all open excavations over 6’ deep. There are no exceptions. In addition, access within 6’ of the excavation is controlled by perimeter protection to ensure complete compliance.

Aldridge safety professionals worked with 3M, a leading PFAS manufacturer, to develop a cutting-edge PFAS with a self-retracting lifeline (SRL) and a built-in shock pack. This device is an industry success and is used across Aldridge projects.
