Safety for Everybody, Everywhere, Every Day Safety is a pillar of Structure Tone’s identity and one of its core values. Passionate about maintaining a safe environment, the company firmly believes that employees and the workforce must trust that they will return home safely, and clients must trust that Structure Tone will keep their staff and visitors safe. Encapsulating that philosophy is the company’s Safety 360° approach, which is all about encouraging behavioral change and taking a 360° view of safety on the job and in employees’ personal lives. The program empowers everyone—from the office to the jobsite—to be safety champions, and it encourages and expects continuous growth and innovation, which ranges from adopting new technologies to testing cutting-edge emergency and safety measures. This investment in safety benefits not only Structure Tone’s own staff but
also its clients, who avoid safety-related impacts to their projects and can rest assured that their staff and visitors are safe—everybody, everywhere, every day. Key components of Structure Tone’s Safety 360° program include: Awareness. The program fosters a 360° view of safety, physically and philosophically. It expects active engagement from all employees in their immediate environment as well as awareness of what’s happening above, below and next to them. It also means looking out for each other’s physical and mental safety and speaking up about potential safety issues. Shared responsibility. Every employee receives annual safety coaching. The best way to increase awareness and action is to increase responsibility, so Structure Tone superintendents, project managers and others are just as engaged in safety as
the dedicated Safety Department team members. Behavior. Behavior is the primary contributing cause of more than 80% of accidents. With this in mind, the primary goal of the Safety 360° approach is to avoid risky behaviors altogether. Through behavior-based safety “coaching,” the company solicits feedback, engages the workforce and empowers people to make a difference. Positivity. Safety 360° relies on positive reinforcement to inspire project teams and employees at all levels to foster a lasting and positive safety culture across the organization. ◆
As New York City continues to grow, it’s important for the city to meet the needs of its residents and their businesses. According to real estate consulting firm Savills, NYC has overtaken San Francisco as the world’s premier city where the technology sector can thrive. To continue to be a forwardthinking metropolis, it’s important that the construction industry designs and creates the perfect environment in which the city’s leading minds can live and work. To create that environment, construction firms need to follow NYC Dept. of Buildings regulations and adhere to a safety plan that not only protects the construction site but also the workers on those sites and the general public at large. Total Safety Consulting (TSC) has been in business for more than two decades and provided site-safety solutions on more than 1,000 projects to date. Its prior projects involve 62 | March 18/25, 2019
