Lindblad Construction recognizes that while safety is everyone’s responsibility, it must begin with the highest level of management. It is the philosophy of Lindblad Construction that in order to create and maintain a strong culture of safety, every employee must be responsible for preserving a safe workplace on each jobsite.

Lindblad’s Ownership team takes a very proactive approach to preserving the safety of each employee. Ownership approves of and supports a variety of safety initiatives intended to improve the overall safety program. These initiatives have recently included extensive industrial hygiene sampling as well as involvement in annual company-wide training sessions, and unwavering support of COVID-19 mitigations.

Project Managers and superintendents work closely with Safety to develop jobsite safety plans, JSAs, determine training needed, and materials required to safely execute each project. In the event of an incident, Project Managers and Superintendents are involved in root-cause analysis and client notifications. Lindblad’s Project Managers accept responsibility for safety by selecting skilled, trained, and competent craftsmen for project assignments.

As a supplement to the above philosophy, Lindblad has enacted a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. The ZERO TOLERANCE policy is not intended to seek punishment but rather, provide clear expectation for the workforce. The ZERO TOLERANCE policy has been developed to hold accountable all employees of Lindblad by making clear the expectations as well as the ramifications should a rule or program be violated.

Lindblad Construction helps the minimization of exposure to hazards on job sites through innovative technology

A key component to the elimination of injuries is the minimization of exposure to hazards on a jobsite. Having control of hazards in the workplace through technology is instrumental in ensuring field forces leave their shifts in the same manner that they arrived.

Lindblad has evolved and maneuvered through the years by embracing technological advancement within the industry. Lindblad Safety has implemented technological tools that have enhanced job-site hazard awareness & mitigation; open communication; and document control.

“Lindblad’s Superintendent and Project Manager both provided exceptional support during construction by maintaining safe work practice, identifying issues, questioning attitude, and resolution of unexpected issues.”

“Working with Lindblad Construction was a very positive experience for our facility. We found their pre-construction preparation to be very thorough. Employee training records, required documentation and other logistics were all in order prior to work commencing. Day one, they came prepared with all materials necessary and equipment which was in very good condition and working order. There was no running out to get this or that to keep the project moving forward. Their employees were on time each day, very professional and followed all policies and procedures set forth by our facility. Their onsite management presence was very impressive with attention to detail and safety concerns. The project was completed on time and all quality control issues were dealt with as they arose. We are very pleased with the finished product and would not hesitate at all to do business with Lindblad Construction again.”
