Transformational Safety Culture

VP North Texas, Scott Lee’s Insights on Transformational Safety Culture

Doing the right thing, regardless of who’s watching is the safety culture at Joeris. Choosing to do the right thing for the well-being of all team members has been top-of-mind and the most important factor as the country emerges from the pandemic.

In 2019, we reassessed our values and identified four values: safety, integrity, leadership, and excellence. Safety is our most important value because of its impact on our people and others with whom we work with in the community.

We are committed to ensuring everyone’s safety and have taken measurable action to develop goals and tactics that support our safety culture.

The executive team and I are working together to identify safety goals and processes to be implemented over the next three to five years.

One of our biggest goals as it relates to safety, is to create a positive safety culture on our projects.

The way we plan to make this happen is by accomplishing these four goals:

• Develop a Safety Data Plan • Implement behavior-based training • Recognize and reinforce positive safety actions • Develop a comprehensive risk assessment tool

These four short-term goals encapsulate both the quantifiable data and behavioral changes that allow our teams to work safer through application of historical data with top executive and leadership commitment to a positive safety culture.

Aligning our corporate values with our safety culture has produced measurable positive results on our projects. A Diamond STEP safety certification was achieved in the Joeris North Texas office. This is a first in our company’s history to receive the highest-level safety certification by ABC!

Our approach to safety takes a “ focused mindset from everyone on the project to be successful. The recognition by ABC shows that everyone has taken this seriously. That mindset is a part of our culture.”

SCOTT LEE, VP NORTH TEXAS

We are extremely proud of our Joeris team members for creating a positive safety culture characterized by communication rooted in mutual trust, a shared perception of the importance of safety, and with confidence in the efficacy of preventative measures.

Our people work day-in and day-out transforming their communities and my role is to ensure they have all the resources they need to be successful. I am very proud everyone has done their part to keep our projects safe.

I am confident that as long as we continue to focus on doing what’s right and emphasizing our shared values we will transform Joeris into a world-class industry leader in safety.
