Safety – Our Foundation
At Tunista Construction, safety is our number one goal, but it is also much more than that – it is a value that we hold as the foundation of our business and its operation. This value is a priority that does not change with time, or by the type, speed, or condition of any project. It is an always-present and never-wavering commitment to our people and our mission as builders and to ourselves. Our zero-incident safety culture — zero tolerance for violations and zero incidents on job sites — is ingrained in all of our employees, from field workers to senior management. We train and maintain high internal standards and expect our clients, project team partners, and subcontractors to share in our values and programs.
Safety is Everyone’s Job
Tunista Construction’s Safety Department is comprised of a dedicated group of professionals that focus on safety as their primary operation and assist all managers, employees, and projects with upholding and implementing the Company’s workplace safe work practices and policies/procedures for all areas of the business.
Safety is the single most important part of our job; it is the basis for our well-being and the well faire of our internal and extended family. Attention to detail, proper procedure, training, success driven performance and continually managing risks and self-performance – these are the key aspects of our Safety culture. We also focus on keeping our program fresh and relevant – keeping the company in a constant position of continual improvement, praising performance and measuring successful lead and lag indicators. These have proven to be key elements of a successful program.
In-House Training
Tunista is proud of our proven in-house and national approach to training and continuing education program at all levels of the organization for our staff. Our employees are brought in and immediately go under review for core competencies, experience and training and specific areas needed for accreditation or certification renewals before entering into the field. With the use of sophisticated in-house asset tracking and management software, along with a strong collaborative experience between our respected unions, along with management and craft, we are able to tailor training around the individual on a case by case basis to provide the greatest possible mutually beneficial experience for both parties. Tunista prides itself on building people to better themselves as individuals and becoming better as an organization and as a group for it.
