Health and Safety

Health and Safety Program Goals
The goal of Insight’s Health and Safety Program is to establish and maintain a safe workplace and thereby prevent and eliminate all accidents or injuries.  Our philosophy and goal for each project and for each work day is to have zero injuries.

Insight’s health and safety program is managed through the use of our Corporate Health and Safety Plan, Accident Prevention Plans, and Site Specific Health and Safety Plans.  Insight’s plans are in compliance with federal and state OSHA standards, and with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual EM385-1-1 (3 Nov. 2003).  We maintain awareness of changes in health and safety standards and modify our plans accordingly to remain in compliance.  Insight’s health and safety program is augmented by employing our safety incentive program and by enforcing our disciplinary policy. 

Health and Safety Organization
Insight’s Corporate Health and Safety Officer (CHSO) is a Certified Industrial Hygienist and is experienced in managing health and safety programs for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and the hazardous materials industry.  The CHSO reports to the President and develops corporate policies and procedures, which are uniformly implemented across the company.  The CHSO is assisted by our Site Health & Safety Officers (SHSO) who have on-site responsibility to implement and enforce our H&S plans.  The SHSO’s have the authority to modify and stop work or remove any individual from the site if conditions arise or if behavior is exhibited which adversely impacts safety and health.  The CHSO also provides input and review of all Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) in our Accident Prevention Plans and Site Specific H&S documents.

A project-specific Site Health and Safety Plan is normally prepared by Insight and submitted to a client for review by their internal Health and Safety organization. After revisions and approvals, this Plan becomes an integral part of the project and serves as a prime reference source. The Plan is frequently reviewed for emphasis and understanding at project “tailgate” safety meetings held at the job site.
