Safety at the Forefront

At Herman Goldner Co., Inc., safety is a top priority. Our comprehensive Safety Program includes four key elements: Management Commitment, Hazard Identification and Correction, Education and Training, and Employee Involvement. Together, these components create a safe and effective work environment. To support these four elements, our Safety Program includes:

Active Safety
Committee

Monthly safety meetings, led by executive management and attended by staff and field representatives, with included participation from the CEO. Topics covered include incidents, hazards, employee safety contributions, and training needs.

Safety Observation
Sighting (SOS) Program

The Herman Goldner Co., Inc. SOS Program enables personnel to report safety issues and notable field conditions to both site and company management for quick corrective action.

Weekly Safety
Training

Weekly safety toolbox talks are conducted at each construction site with materials specific to mechanical trades. For employees like Service Technicians who are not at fixed sites, a mandatory web-based safety training program is used. Attendance is documented and reviewed periodically.

Safety Orientation

Every new employee receives an orientation on company policies and a Safety Handbook from the Mechanical Contractors' Association, covering over 50 topics and 40 graphics specific to mechanical trades. Drivers also get a manual on company vehicle regulations.

  • Specialized Training

    We provide specialized safety training, including Lockout Tagout, First Aid, OSHA programs, and more, to ensure all employees are equipped to identify and address hazards on the job.

  • Personal Protective Equipment

    Safety glasses and hard hats are mandatory for all Herman Goldner Co., Inc. employees. Managers and the Company Owner model proper PPE use, and infractions are addressed promptly. Foremen and project managers can purchase additional safety gear as needed.

  • Safety Equipment

    We supply essential safety equipment on job sites, including fiberglass ladders, fall protection gear, OSHA-compliant scaffolds, confined space meters, welding machines, arc flash protection, and electrical meters for Service Technicians.

  • Written Program

    We develop and periodically review safety and health policies with loss control professionals and management. Site-specific plans are created as needed for tasks like lockout, crane lifts, and fall protection.

  • Safety Award Program

    The program tracks field incidents and rewards the team semi-annually if targets are met, with an extra year-end drawing if annual goals are achieved. Clients require an incident level below 4.0.

  • Site Inspections

    We conduct daily site inspections by foremen and periodic comprehensive checks by a safety engineer, covering site conditions, work practices, and training. Reports are reviewed monthly to ensure ongoing safety.

  • Job Safety Planning

    Safety and health are addressed in construction focus meetings, project turnovers, and bid proposals to manage hazards. Site-specific safety plans are developed as needed for operations like crane lifts, fall protection, confined space entry, and hot work.

  • Analysis of Safety Performance

    We analyze incidents, injuries, and SOS reports monthly and annually, with reviews by management and the safety committee. This process identifies concerns and recognizes employee performance. For instance, the mandatory use of safety glasses on lanyards resulted from this analysis.
