General Safety Program
Diamond Construction, Inc. (DCI), similar to other businesses, has potential hazards in the workplace. Because the company believes it has a responsibility to provide a safe work environment for its employees, this Safety Program has been adopted by DCI management.
The Safety Program complies with Department of Labor OSHA Safety and Health Standards (29CFR1910), the Construction Safety and Health Regulations (29CFR1926), the Montana Safety Culture Act, and other applicable local, state and federal laws.
The Human Resource Department has overall responsibility for implementation of the General Safety Program, and a Safety Coordinator has the responsibility of monitoring day-to-day safety habits and practices in the workplace. DCI Job Site Safety Program is under the direct supervision and responsibility of the job site supervisor on specific DCI construction sites. Reference the Job Site Safety Program for more detailed information.
It is expected that all employees will be safety conscious and take every precaution to protect themselves and their co-workers by completing job tasks in a safe and responsible manner. Safety related work practices will be a consideration on individual performance evaluations, and violations of this Safety Program may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
Supervisors, Field and Office staff - you are responsible for the safety of not only the employees you supervise, but for the safety of all our employees. You need to insure all work being performed by any of our employees and yourself will be done so in a safe fashion by following approved safety procedures, and the wearing of required personal safety equipment, such as hard hats.
As a Field or Office staff, you are responsible to follow all safety regulations and to ensure that you are complying with all safety items. You need to watch out for you fellow workers. If you are directed to do what you consider an "unsafe practice" you have every right to refuse, and let the Safety manager know of the issues.
Employees who violate safety standards, who do not wear or use personal safety equipment such as hard hats, who cause hazardous or dangerous situations, or who fail to report or, where appropriate, remedy such situations, may be subject to immediate termination of employment

Membership is on a volunteer basis and represents a cross-section of the company work groups. Two (2) members represent company management, one of which is a representative from the Human Resource Department who also serves as Secretary and record keeper of all committee activities. DCI Safety Coordinator also serves on the Employee Safety Committee.
All committee members serve a one-year term and are eligible for re-appointment on an annual basis.
The Safety Coordinator, in conjunction with the Human Resource Department, is responsible for coordinating and handling all committee responsibilities and activities.
