Seven Basic Safety Principles

Crawford Roofing is based on the concept that safety is the individual and personal responsibility of each employee.

Each year a substantial investment of time and money is made to insure that the equipment and tools used in our work is properly designed from the standpoint of safety and that our work areas are as safe as it is possible to make them. However physical things have to be operated and used by people, and in the final analysis, their safety value depends on the human factor. It is the individual who is responsible ultimately for his own safety and for the safety of those around him.

To implement the basic concept on a continuing, day-to-day basis, we have formulated seven basic principles of safety. They are:

  1. Provide Active Top Management Support

  2. Maintain Adequate Safety Personnel

  3. Develop Safety Instructions For Every Work Site

  4. Instruct Each New Employee

  5. Operate Through Supervision

  6. Make Every Employee Safety Minded

  7. Extend Efforts Beyond the Office and Work Sites

Aside from these principles, our Safety Director leads our employees with leading Job Safety Analysis and Safety Awareness Programs.
