PROACTIVE AND EVOLVING STANDARDS
Our Safety Commitment
Higgs Construction Limited maintains a current safety policy that reflects the needs of a constantly evolving industry. Safety is integrated into everything we do—from planning to delivery—ensuring our team, clients, and communities stay protected.
Our dedicated safety committee, including management, site staff, and Lucas Safety Consultants, meets quarterly to review incidents, identify new hazards, and implement corrective actions as needed. This collaborative approach helps us adapt and improve our practices continuously.
On-Site Safety Practices
We follow rigorous safety protocols at every job site, tailored to each project’s specific risks. These include:
- Site Specific Safety Plans approved before any work begins
- Monthly site audits conducted by Lucas Safety, with findings shared with stakeholders
- Daily hazard identification and task analysis completed by on-site teams
- Weekly toolbox meetings to discuss safety insights and incidents
- Routine reporting to clients/consultants at every site meeting, with updated safety audit reports
This consistent on-site engagement ensures everyone involved is informed, prepared, and protected.
