The safety manager administers Weifield’s Safety Ownership committee and organizes trainings to proactively drive down EMR ratings and risks.

This safety advocate wears a bright green vest for easy identification by his/her peers at the job site and is well-versed in Weifield’s safety policies in order to handle safety issues/concerns quickly and effectively.
  • Incident Management: As part of our Project Safety Plans (PSPs), Weifield develops comprehensive incident plans for each job site to be followed by work crews during the project.
