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.
