“
On any given day , there ’ s at least ten Barriere crews , along with subcontractors , running all over like ants , it ’ s pretty neat to be a part of such an effort
message we are always repeating is ‘ everybody is a safety employee ,’ which reinforces company-wide accountability and ownership .
“ We talk about safety and quality a lot , but it really starts with our
“ training , which Barriere is very big on , and has been for many years . Both our in-class and on-the-job training schemes begin with safety , and it ’ s something that our teams will hear throughout their entire careers with the business . They have the ability to help us be better , they are the ones who can spot something that ’ s incorrect , stop the action , and bring about the change . Everybody , from our entry-level employees all the way up to me , has this power . We want our workforce to go home the same way that they came to work , so they are all trained in CPR / First Aid . We run multiple different topics throughout the year , which is something that CRH has taken note of , and implemented elsewhere .”
