At Thomas Concrete Group, safety, well-being, and inclusion are our top priorities. We strive to create a work environment where everyone feels safe and welcome. To achieve this, it is important that we all take responsibility and actively contribute to a safe workplace. We prioritize safety first.
Our goal is to create the best conditions for our employees to have a sustainable working life. Everyone should feel they have a workplace where they can thrive and feel both safe and secure.
We are a committed team that cares and acts in the best interest of our customers, colleagues and company. Our company vision is to be perceived as being the best in our industry including safety first. We lead with safety and promote a culture where all employees value safety as a way of life.
We ensure that safety is a value in every aspect of our business and measure it regularly. We insist on a safe operating environment, application of safe operating procedures, and employee compliance with all company safety policies and governmental regulations.
We continuously improve our safety culture by identifying and assessing risks through observations and analyses. By documenting and prioritizing these risks, we create a safer workplace.
Everyone in the organization should make at least one risk observation per year to detect and manage risks promptly. Our leaders set a good example, but it is together as Team Thomas that we prevent and avoid injuries.
The construction industry is highly susceptible to various risks. In our precast and ready-mixed concrete plants, as well as on construction sites where our concrete drivers and pump operators work, many tasks could potentially be dangerous. This places high demands on our staff’s safety awareness and flexibility.
To protect our employees, we have set dress requirements in plants and on construction sites. This includes wearing helmets that absorb impacts and high-visibility clothing to ensure we are seen in traffic.
For you as a customer, this means security in knowing that we focus on safety in all aspects, from deliveries to our plants, production, and finally when we arrive with our pumps and concrete trucks. As a reminder and for everyone’s safety, we put up entrance signs at all our plants. We want everyone to be visible and safe at our facilities.
We are first and foremost a committed team that cares for each other, our customers and wider society. By supporting each other, encouraging innovation, putting safety first and promoting health and well-being, Team Thomas is ready and able to fulfil its social responsibilities.
