Safety Programs
This program defines and documents the management system used by Tighe & Bond to protect employees from serious injuries resulting from cave-ins or collapse when working in or near any man-made cut, cavity, narrow excavation, or depression in an earth surface, formed by earth removal.
Trench and Excavation Program
OSHA
Occupational Safety and Health Administration – OSHA is a federal agency that focuses on setting and enforcing workplace safety standards and regulations.
Wet, icy, and slippery or uneven surfaces can cause this jobsite hazard.
Slip, trip and fall hazards
Improper chair height, incorrect monitor positioning and insufficient or excessive lighting.
Poor ergonomics
The device(s) in each office for external emergency responders to use to fight fires. Tighe & Bond employees are not trained or authorized to fight fires and must not attempt to use these devices under any circumstance. Our policy for fires or explosions is immediate evacuation.
Fire extinguishers
This program outlines the requirements, expectations, and process to ensure employee safety and health while on the roads.
Driver's Safety Program
NIOSH
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health – NIOSH is a federal agency that focuses on research, recommendations, and training.
This hazard can be avoided by wearing long sleeved shirts and pants, and spraying clothing with deet or permethrin.
Hazardous ticks and insects
Use this rule when working at a computer for an extended period of time by taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
The 20 - 20 - 20 Rule
The device that analyzes heart rhythm and delivers electrical shock to restore a normal rhythm in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. The location of this device can be found on your office specific Emergency Action Plan.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
This program defines and documents the management system used by Tighe & Bond for the selection and use of equipment designed to provide protection to the wearer from potential hazards to the eyes, face, hands, head, feet, ears, and extremities
Personal Protective Equipment Program
TRIR
Total Recordable Incident Rate – standard OSHA formula measuring workplace safety by calculating the number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees over a year.
These hazards include elevated surfaces greater than four feet above a lower level which are not protected by a standard guardrail.
Fall hazards
Examples of this practice include keeping floors neat and clear of tripping hazards, keeping office equipment in good working condition and avoiding storing boxes too high.
Good housekeeping practices
This employees role is to work directly with Senior Management and emergency services to coordinate an effective emergency response. This employee also collects head count information and reports missing personnel to emergency services, as applicable.
Emergency Coordinator
This program is to define and document minimum acceptable standards for work practices to be followed by Tighe & Bond employees who approach or are in the proximity of exposed energized parts, even if work is unrelated to the exposed energized parts.
Electrical Safety Program
JSA/JHA
Job Safety Analysis / Job Hazard Analysis – a required technique used to identify, evaluate, and control potential hazards associated with specific job tasks before they cause injuries. We use safety plans to make these determinations.
This work hazard entails entering a space which has limited means of entry and egress, and is not designed for continuous occupation.
Confined Space Entry
Examples of this driving technique include staying aware of changing weather conditions, checking mirrors periodically and leaving at least a three-second gap between you and the vehicle in front.
Defensive Driving
This employees role is to conduct a quick sweep of their assigned area and/or floor (if safe to do so) to identify people who have not evacuated and/or require assistance.
Evacuation Sweeper
This program helps protect staff from many common materials found on construction sites including; cement, concrete, pre-formed structures and others.
Respirable Crystalline Silica Program
EMR
Experience Modification Rate - a multiplier that adjusts workers' compensation insurance premiums, comparing a company's actual injury claims history against the expected losses for similar businesses in its industry; an EMR below 1.0 (e.g., 0.85) offers a premium discount (credit), while above 1.0 (e.g., 1.20) adds a surcharge (debit), with 1.0 being average, incentivizing better safety to lower costs.
Requires minimum clearance of 10 feet for voltages up to 50 kV, and 10 feet plus 4 inches for every 10 kV over 50 kV.
Overhead power lines
This disorder can be caused by workplace tasks that involve repetitive movements, awkward or static body posturing and improper lifting.
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)
This employees role is to collect the visitor log from the front desk, bring it to the evacuation assembly area, and conduct headcounts at the evacuation assembly area.
