APi Group, Inc.

Striving Towards Excellence & Professionalism in Safety At APi Group, Inc., our employees are our biggest asset and differentiate us from our competition. Their individual safety is taken very seriously and is of the highest priority within our organization. It’s not something we just talk about; we live it each and every day. From our President & CEO, throughout every discipline there is an expectation that we will provide a safe place to work, and at the same time conduct our tasks with respect to safe work practices. Our obligation is to send our employees’ home in the same condition as when they arrived at work.

We believe these “STEPS” are necessary to reducing all causes of loss and protecting our employees and those who work along side of us.

Our Company is committed to employee safety and loss prevention. This is most evident by the 20 + dedicated Safety Professionals working in varying capacities throughout the organization. Our Risk Management Department and Safety Professionals have developed and implemented a world-class Safety and Health Program that serves as the foundation for our safety policies and procedures and has been applauded by Industry. This program is the backbone for our safety performance and the guide for conducting our tasks in a safe and productive manner. With the implementation of this program, we have seen reductions in our Experience Modification Rate, incident and frequency rates, as well as overall losses.

In 2005, our leadership challenged the organization’s Safety Professionals to develop, implement, and ultimately champion a new loss prevention initiative in 2006. After a two day meeting, the team adopted the following moniker to best capture the intent of the program. “STEPS” stands for Striving for Excellence and Professionalism in Safety and is supported by the following beliefs as essentials for the safety of our employees and the overall success of the Company:

Training – This is a key element in our program. We have established clear expectations for employees at all levels. Each employee will receive training and education that compliments their respective level of responsibility.
Accountability – We each have responsibility for workplace safety. We have developed an auditing function that effectively communicates safety and loss prevention information to supervision in an effort to monitor project and / or site specific safety performance. This tool will aid in proactively correcting deficiencies in a timely fashion, at the same time providing feedback on the observed behaviors and or practices that are positive.
Project and or Job Pre-Plans – We know that a project and / or job operates more seamlessly with a well orchestrated plan. The more we know ahead of time the more prepared we can be in hazard recognition and avoidance. Each Company within the group is establishing programs to effectively pre-plan their work in effort to proactively reduce incidents, injuries, and illnesses

Enforcement – We shall not allow ourselves to condone unsafe work practices by not addressing the issue or turning a blind eye. Enforcement of our policies, procedures, and safe work practices is a shared responsibility. It is essential and necessary that we enforce our safe work rules swiftly and consistently.
Injury/Illness/Incident Management – We firmly believe that injuries, illnesses, and incidents are preventable; not inevitable. However, when they do occur we must respond in a timely fashion and generate corrective action(s) that will prevent reoccurrence. We also believe that our Executive Management must be personally engaged and take a more active role in the investigation process including enforcement of our safe work rules and policies.
