The Five Million Man Hours – No Lost Time Accidents award is a positive reflection of our management, field supervision, and most importantly, our dedicated trades men and women working every day.

Safety Commitment:

Our business is inherently dangerous. Since the founding of our firm in 1977, our employees have always been the most important asset to Roberts. Their safety and well-being are our #1 priority. At Roberts, we understand that a safe workplace does not just happen; it is the result of rigorous planning, continuous training, implementation of policy, and management’s commitment in combination with safe work behaviors championed by our employees. We have committed and have in place the necessary resources to achieve this goal. We are committed to ensuring that our employees are fully equipped to work safely at our facilities, or our clients’ facilities. Safety will always be at the forefront of every project we undertake, no matter the size or duration.

Roberts Safety Program:

Planning, communicating, observing, and looking for ways to continually improve is a focus at Roberts.

The following safe work practices serve as the foundation for the program:

•  Discuss and plan work assignments daily using the Roberts Pre-task Planning Information Sheet
• Empower all employees to stop work and notify a supervisor if a threat to safety is observed
• Conduct daily or weekly “Toolbox Safety Talks”
• Conduct Project Audit Inspection Reports
• Provide OSHA 10-Hour Training for all supervisors
• By planning a safety culture in our everyday activities, working safely at Roberts has become natural to our employees.

A Quote from the President:

“Roberts understands that no matter how well we preform, your project will not be considered a success if someone gets hurt on the job. Roberts is committed to getting every employee involved in safety and promoting a culture to prevent accidents and injuries.”
