Jean-Pierre Gilardeau, Manager Eastalco Works Frederick, Maryland OUR GOAL: ELIMINATE AT-RISK BEHAVIOR AND ACHIEVE ZERO INCIDENTS Cianbro accepts full responsibility for establishing and maintaining a safe work environment. Our team members have the right to go home each day without injury. Cianbro involves every team member in planning each activity--no matter how small. By putting safety first and ensuring that risks are eliminated or mitigated, we improve quality and achieve outstanding productivity. Applying our can-do spirit to safety, Cianbro has solved challenging safety problems by leading the industry in developing procedures, techniques, and equipment to keep our people safe. Cianbro has been nationally recognized for this success. CIANBRO ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROCESS (CAPP) Cianbro is the first construction company to implement a behavior-based safety process throughout its organization. Zero at-risk behavior and zero injuries require moving beyond traditional methods of safety management. CAPP creates an environment of safe team member behavior through peer observation, constructive feedback, and regular use of the data obtained to update equipment, practices, and procedures. CAPP involves all workers in identifying both at-risk and safe behaviors. Rather than focusing exclusively on what team members are doing wrong or incidents that have already occurred, CAPP proactively focuses on work tasks and behaviors that could potentially raise the potential for causing work injuries. Complimenting Cianbro's successful safety program, CAPP is a non-threatening, no names, continuous improvement process. No one is reprimanded or punished as a result of a CAPP observation.
