Safety/Training

Safety and Training: The Top Priority

Jobsite Safety Plan:

To accomplish overall job site safety, we require that a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) be completed before the start of all work. This includes working with a general contractor or property owner to assess the safety required of each job site and a comprehensive safety plan to determine the safety risk of all tasks, as well as controls that are put in place to protect the lives of our employees.

Employee Training: Safety Training and Continuing Education:

The safety of our workforce and job sites is a priority. Siegner and Company participate with the Painters Regional Training Center, a comprehensive state-of-the-art center near Portland airport. Our journey-level painters are compensated at their working wage rate to complete at least 40 hours of required annual safety training and continuing education, including First Aid/CPR, OSHA 10, scissor/boom lift, forklift, respirator fit, respirator medical, fall protection, hazmat, and confined space. Wage increases are contingent on maintaining required safety certifications.

Equipment Training:

Field staff is trained for boom lift, scissor lift, forklift equipment, scaffold use, and fall protection. We train continuously for ladder safety, confined spaces, and personal protective equipment. On-site training is also available to assess job site needs and equipment requirements.

OSHA:

Siegner and Company participate in the Signatory Painting Contractors Organization (SPCO) OSHA-approved Safety Committee. We also participate in the Associated General Contractors and SAIF Safety programs.

Drug Testing:

Siegner and Company mandate a pre-employment, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion drug testing program for all employees. We are also prepared to comply with job site-specific drug testing requirements.

Safety Awards:

Safety is a priority, and Siegner and Company have a proven track record. We have earned Safety Award recognition from the Associated General Contractors, Painting Contractors of America, and Signatory Painting Contractors Organization.
