Safety is the most important consideration for a Skyler project
Skyler has an evolving safety approach that carefully considers client and federal, state, and local requirements to protect the workers and community.
Skyler employs a highly‐structured Health and Safety Program to ensure the safe and quality performance of field and workplace activities
The program provides health and safety training in accordance with both company and regulatory requirements.
A site‐specific health and safety program is developed and implemented for each project prior to its initiation that considers:
- Safe work practices
- Engineering safeguards
- Medical surveillance
- Environmental and personnel monitoring
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Education & training
- Standard operating procedures for safe operations
- Cost modeling
- MEP and infrastructure coordination
Skyler’s comprehensive “safe” standard operating procedures provide instruction and guidance that consider:
- Site description
- On-site organization and coordination
- Site entry and control points
- Site assessment
- Hazard recognition
- Emergency response, and decontamination
Site assessment and Hazard recognition, are always a continuous process due to ever changing site conditions
Skyler’s commitment to health and safety is further reflected in its Experience Modification Rate (EMR).
