TOOLES CONTRACTING GROUP (TCG) is an industry leader executing the basics with consistency and accuracy. Our philosophies of “Building Better Through Basic Management” and “People-Based Safety” are the cornerstones of company operations.
Safety, cost, scheduling, quality, and productivity are all integral parts of the construction process. The same "basic management" that brings a job in on time and under budget brings it in safely.
Several reasons for having a strong safety program are that it:
- Protects the company’s most valuable asset, its employees.
- Eliminates unexpected interruptions in the work process, allowing for more accurate scheduling.
- Reduces insurance costs, thereby making TCG more competitive.
- Makes the work force feel more confident and secure, improving quality and productivity.
- Prevents incident-related disruptions, reducing job cost and increasing profitability.
- Reduces unnecessary legal and financial burdens of the owner, improving the TCG image among potential and current clients.
Several reasons for having a People-Based Safety program are that it:
- Promotes an “Actively Caring” safety culture that encourages self-directed, “want to” engagement with regard to safety as opposed to other-directed, “have to” compliance with it.
- Focuses on leading indicators which promotes an optimistic attitude of striving for success as opposed to the failure avoidance culture of a focus on trailing indicators.
- Promotes “fact finding” not “fault finding”. Most behaviors are the result of the system, not the cause of the problem.
- Helps first line supervisors to be safety coaches by encouraging them to focus on positive safety activities such as pre-task planning, toolbox talks, and encouraging positive feedback.
- Celebrates safety achievements but focuses on the process that gets us there.
In an effort to maintain the highest quality safety program in the industry, this program is reviewed annually for areas of deficiency or, more frequently, to identify possibilities for proactive improvements. Additionally, in any areas of discrepancy between this policy and state, federal, or customer requirements, the most stringent will be enforced.
Tooles Contracting Groups’ continued success is based on our ability to perform safely, on time and within budget.
