Environmental, Health, and Safety Management
At JM Olson Corporation, our commitment to environment, health, and safety is
evidenced throughout the construction process. Through active involvement with
out clients, subcontractors, vendors, and partners, every activity is analyzed
and planned to assure the highest level of environmental stewardship and the
health and safety of all workers assigned to the project, the client, and the
general public.
By approaching the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) management of the
project using Total Quality Management (TQM) techniques, full integration of
the EHS Program is possible. Training in EHS management is provided to all JM
Olson project supervision, empowering them to identify and correct EHS issues
immediately. Subcontractor supervision has been brought into our training programs
to assure clear communication of the requirements and responsibilities of each
individual. Extensive technical, management, and updated training is provided
to keep our project supervision on the leading edge of EHS management. JMOC
Superintendents practice the skill of conducting hazard awareness audits through
peer reviews of other sites accompanied by members of the JMOC EHS Department,
which conducts independent assessments and is always on call to assist the project
in its EHS management needs.
