Mascaro installed the upper reservoir emergency shutoff gate for a Power Generating Station - Hydro Electric Plant. The new wheel gate is 107 feet tall. The work occurred over three fall outages. Check out the video for a time-lapse of this awesome project!
Let's talk safety
Building a Safety Culture
A consistent message of caring for yourself and fellow workers is the key. Reinforcement of the HSE processes through meetings and communications builds the culture onsite and within each employee. When employees see that Mascaro does what they say they are going to do, they begin to take an active role in the HSE process.
In order to ensure top management support and a consistent implementation of the health, safety, and environmental process, we created a continuous improvement process (CIP). Our CIP process is based on eight leading indicators. Each project team scores themselves and top management and provides a scorecard that is reviewed at the monthly project review meeting.
Subcontractors are required to comply with these Mascaro policies while working on Mascaro projects. Front line supervisors are responsible for monitoring and maintaining a positive commitment to safety within their crew. If a negative trend is developing, we will work with the supervisor to identify the underlying issues and provide recommendations and support.
Preventing the Predictable
Mascaro uses Predictive Solutions Safety Net software to key in observations and predict the potential for unsafe acts and conditions. Predictive Solutions is a software platform utilized to perform field observations. Results are keyed into various dropdowns via hand-held devices. This information is tracked and trended to provide Mascaro with clear direction on current training needs. This is also used by the front-line supervisors, who can accurately communicate any trends or identified safety issues.
Our management team then utilizes both the weekly reports and a statistical chart and graph dashboard to identify what is working and what needs improvement. Our CEO, vice presidents, and senior staff utilize a weekly summary report that is generated from Predictive Solutions.
