At ABS Iron, safety is at the heart of everything we do. We maintain strict protocols to protect everyone involved in the project, from employees to contractors and clients.

Safety Training

We provide continuous safety training for all team members to ensure they are fully aware of the latest industry standards, safety protocols, and best practices.

Our training program includes:

  • OSHA Compliance: Adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for construction and fabrication projects.
  • Emergency Procedures: Training on how to respond to accidents, fires, and other emergencies on-site.
  • Equipment Safety: Instruction on the safe use of heavy machinery, tools, and lifting equipment.
  • Job-Specific Hazards: Focused training for tasks with heightened risks, such as working at heights, welding, and heavy component installation.

Regular refresher courses ensure that everyone on our team remains vigilant and knowledgeable about evolving safety regulations.

Site Assessments

Before installation begins, our safety specialists perform detailed site assessments to identify potential hazards and develop plans to mitigate risks.

Site assessments focus on:

  • Work Area Conditions: Identifying risks such as uneven surfaces, obstructions, or confined spaces.
  • Access Points: Ensuring safe entry and exit points for workers, vehicles, and materials.
  • Environmental Factors: Evaluating weather conditions, noise levels, and potential exposure to harmful substances.
  • Coordination with Other Trades: Addressing risks related to simultaneous activities by other contractors on-site.

By conducting these assessments, we proactively reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safe working environment.

Protective Equipment

Our team members are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) tailored to their tasks, minimizing the risk of injuries.

Types of PPE include:

  • Hard Hats: Protecting against falling objects and head injuries.
  • Safety Glasses and Face Shields: Preventing eye injuries from flying debris, sparks, or chemicals.
  • Gloves and Safety Footwear: Protecting hands and feet from cuts, punctures, and heavy impacts.
  • Respiratory Protection: Ensuring safe air quality for tasks involving dust, fumes, or gases.
  • Fall Protection Systems: For elevated work, including harnesses, lanyards, and secure anchor points.

We enforce strict compliance with PPE requirements at all times to maintain worker safety.

Ongoing Monitoring

We don’t just implement safety measures at the start of a project—we continuously monitor conditions on-site to ensure ongoing compliance and rapid response to any issues.

Ongoing monitoring involves:

  • Safety Inspections: Regular site walk-throughs by safety officers to check for hazards and adherence to protocols.
  • Compliance Checks: Verifying that all workers are following safety procedures, including proper use of PPE and safe equipment operation.
  • Incident Reporting: Establishing a clear system for reporting near-misses, injuries, and hazards to allow for immediate corrective action.

Through ongoing monitoring, we maintain a culture of accountability and continuous improvement in safety performance.

Accident Prevention

Our goal is to achieve zero incidents on every project through proactive safety planning and risk management. We believe that all accidents are preventable with the right measures in place.

Accident prevention strategies include:

  • Hazard Elimination: Identifying and removing risks wherever possible before work begins.
  • Job Safety Analysis (JSA): Breaking down tasks into steps to assess potential hazards and implement controls for each activity.
  • Safety Drills: Conducting practice drills to prepare workers for potential emergencies, such as equipment malfunctions or evacuation scenarios.
  • Feedback and Improvement: Encouraging workers to provide feedback on safety concerns and suggestions for improvement.

By maintaining a strong emphasis on prevention, we protect lives and maintain productivity on every project.
