Wilder has an established worker safety and health program that includes formal training in construction safety, tracking and formalized reporting.  This program has full time oversight and management by a Wilder safety professional, Mr. Mike Fallon.  Mike is available at your convenience to discuss our safety program with you.  He may be reached at our Corporate Office in Everett at (425) 551-3100.

Wilder Construction Company's safety policy is based on the belief that every working person is entitled to a safe and healthful place to work.  We recognize our responsibility for the physical well being of our employees as established by federal and state regulations.  We further recognize the vital role that effective accident prevention measures play in an efficiently run project.

Our managers and supervisors are responsible and accountable for the implementation of safe work procedures and maintenance of a job site free from hazards that would endanger people or property.  Support of this objective is a condition of employment.

The Company's accident prevention policies are contained in a Supervisor's Health and Safety Manual that covers the following areas:

·        Definitions of formal responsibility for accident prevention. Responsibility flows through the organization along functional lines.  The Safety and Risk Manager working out of the Company’s home office provides staff assistance.  This individual periodically audits a project's adherence to Corporate Safety Policy.

·        Guidelines for pre-job planning including a copy of all pertinent regulations.

·        Requirements and checklists for conducting weekly job site safety inspections.

·        Specific safety rules for supervisors and craftsman.  Each newly hired employee is provided an Employee Safety Manual that he/she is required to read and follow.

·        Specific policy requiring that each newly hired employee receives orientation in the Company's accident prevention program.

·        Emergency procedures, including the requirement that each superintendent hold current first-aid certification.

·        Policy requiring the holding of weekly toolbox safety meetings.

·        Guidelines for handling federal and state safety inspections.

·        Procedures for investigating and reporting accidents.

·        Compiling of incidence rates for monitoring safety performance.

·        A recognition program for business groups showing significant improvement.
