Jobsite Safety Program

At LeJeune, safety excellence is a corporate value and a commitment we practice on all projects. We employ only the most qualified safety managers on our construction projects. Additionally we include our sub-contractors in our STEPS program which stands for "Striving Towards Excellence and Professionalism in Safety." This safety outreach program makes the LeJeune Steel Company a reliable and safe construction partner for the customer.

To maintain the safest jobsite for our steel erectors, we ensure all site-specific work conditions and hazards are addressed in our site-specific safety plan. All site-specific rules, procedures, and hazards are communicated to all employees during site orientation, daily toolbox safety meetings, and weekly foreman and project-wide mass safety meetings.

LeJeune Steel only works with those Steel Erectors who can demonstrate a commitment to quality and safety. Our steel erection partners have demonstrated, time and again their reliability and dependability, to do the job right.

Some of the key qualifications are:

• The firm's written safety plan, compliant with governmental regulations, is understood and implemented by supervision and the erection crew.
• All welders are qualified per American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1. Written welding procedures, compliant with AWS specifications, are available and used by welders.
• Written bolt tightening procedures, compliant with the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) specifications, are in place and used.
• A written procedure for fall protection is periodically monitored and recorded by a person trained in fall protection and authorized to require needed corrections.
• Crane operators are CCO certified or equivalently trained and/or experienced.
• Project-specific erection plans with hoisting and erection requirements are communicated and implemented in the field.
