ZERO INCIDENT PHILOSOPHY
At Sussex Development, we adhere to a Zero Incident Philosophy, striving for an incident-free work environment. This commitment is reflected in our rigorous safety training, workplace culture of safety, and proactive measures designed to prevent accidents before they occur. We believe that a safe workplace is achievable through diligent practices and constant vigilance.
SAFETY CULTURE
We foster a strong safety culture by holding full-team monthly safety meetings, as well as weekly safety briefings. These meetings provide an opportunity to review safety protocols, share experiences, and learn from near misses. By communicating openly about safety management, we work together to maintain a safe and incident-free workspace.
GENERAL SAFETY EDUCATION
All Sussex project managers and superintendents are OSHA 30 certified, ensuring they are well-versed in comprehensive safety practices. Our field team members receive thorough training in infection control risk assessments (ICRA) and asbestos awareness, preparing them to manage various safety challenges on-site effectively.
HEALTHCARE
SAFETY EDUCATION
Beyond general safety training, we also train our project managers as Certified Healthcare Managers through the Construction Infection Control Training Institute (CICTI). This certification equips them with specialized knowledge to navigate the unique safety requirements of healthcare construction and helps maintain our high standard for operations in this critical sector.
VIRGINIA BEST MEMBER
We are a recipient of Virginia Occupational Safety & Health (VOSH) and Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) recognition through the Virginia BEST program level 1. This accolade is a testament to our unwavering dedication to setting the gold standard in safety, health, and training within the construction industry. We've gone beyond mere compliance, implementing cutting-edge safety and health management systems that redefine industry benchmarks.
