JGM Safety Corner: Q2 2024 Announcements
At JGM, safety is our number one priority. Over the last quarter, we have received the AISC Safety Award of Honor for zero Days Away, Restricted or Transfer (DART) injuries for both fabrication and erection.
We require EVERY employee at JGM (even office staff) to obtain their OSHA 10 Certification, and EVERY supervisor to obtain their OSHA 30 certification. And about half of our supervisors have even achieved their MSHA 46 and MSHA 48 certification. Safety training across the ENTIRE organization is the foundation of JGM’s safety culture.
Our supervisors are also responsible for performing a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) on any new task that we perform and communicating their findings back to all teams.

At JGM, safety is our number one priority. We are committed to continuously implementing innovative programs to enhance our team’s safety knowledge and advancing our safety culture in the shop and field.
Uncompromising safety, one of our core values, helped us reduce our experience modification rate (EMR) to a 0.662 –the lowest in company history!
We are proud members of the National Safety Council and ABC Step Program. While our leaders help foster a culture of safety at JGM, all of our team members play a vital role in ensuring the safety of everyone in and out of the shop. By giving our employees the extensive training needed to identify and resolve at-risk behaviors and potential hazards immediately, we can prevent accidents from occurring rather than simply react to them.
In addition to following OSHA and MSHA regulations, we established two safety committees to keep our practices in check: one committee is dedicated strictly to ensuring safety in the fabrication plant while the other is focused on enforcing safe practices and procedures out in the field.
We are an approved contractor for ISNetworld, Construct Secure, Avetta, First Verify.
All new employees begin with extensive training that provides classroom and hands-on learning experiences:
