REAL SAFETY

July 22, 2009 - July 22, 2009 - In June, The Jamar Company again hit the milestone of one million man hours worked without a lost-time injury.

This achievement is no accident as it takes an enormous amount of project and task pre planning, new hire safety orientations, daily safety meetings and site inspections to bring it all together. Even with these tools in place, the attention of each field worker on the Jamar job sites is aware of his or her own safety practices along with dedicated site-safety professionals to make this achievement possible.

“One million man hours without a lost-time injury in the construction industry does not happen by being lucky,” said Jamar Safety Manager Greg Olek. “This accomplishment is a direct result of our employee's commitment to working every day with zero injuries.”

This is Jamar's second consecutive year to reach one million man hours without a lost-time injury.

For continued excellence in workplace safety and health, the Minnesota Safety Council awarded Jamar's third consecutive Governor Safety Award of Honor in May 2009. Jamar also earned the APi Group X-Cup Award for its achievements in risk management.

“Congratulations and thank you to everyone at Jamar who continue to make safety a top priority each day,” said Jamar Marketing Coordinator Krista Pascoe.
