• Job Hazard Analysis (JHA): We use JHA to evaluate and implement controls, including elimination, substitution, administrative, and engineering solutions, as well as personal protective equipment. • STCKY Prevention Model: Introduced in late 2020, our STCKY (Stuff That Can Kill You) model targets eight high-energy hazard categories: Falls, Pinches & Crushes, Picks & Lifts, Moves, Work Environment, Stressed & Tensioned, Shocks & Electrical, and Toxic & Flammable hazards. This model prioritizes the prevention of life-altering injuries and fatalities through rigorous planning, daily Take 5 meetings, and detailed job site inspections. The introduction of the STCKY model has significantly reduced our OSHA Recordable Incident Rate, demonstrating the effectiveness of our safety initiatives. UAPA: What is the best avenue for other subcontractors to start building a safety culture? Travis: • Assess Your Current Situation: Begin by objectively evaluating your current safety practices and culture. Identify areas for improvement and set clear goals for where you want to be. • Commitment and Attitude: Foster a positive attitude and a strong commitment to your employees’ safety. This mindset should be reflected in all your actions and decisions. • Lead by Example: Leadership at all levels must be fully invested in the safety culture. Demonstrate safe practices and behaviors consistently. • Continuous Communication: Maintain open and continuous communication about safety. Encourage employees to share their concerns and suggestions. • Recognition Programs: Implement positive recognition programs to show employees that their safety efforts are valued and respected. This can help shift the culture towards a more safety-conscious mindset. • Adaptability and Resilience: Be prepared for challenges and obstacles. Stay adaptable and committed to overcoming these hurdles without losing sight of your safety goals. 16
