SAFETY
Safety at FHG is all-encompassing; so much so that we developed our own program devoted to the safety of all employees. FHG 360 is managed by full-time health and safety professionals. Our desire is to have zero injuries, but it takes awareness and focused effort on a daily basis.
Gold Shovel Certified
Gold Shovel Standard (GSS) is a nonprofit organization committed to improving workforce and public safety and the integrity of buried infrastructure. GSS believes that greater transparency in all aspects of damage prevention among buried-asset operators, locators and excavators is essential to drive continuous improvement, and vital to increasingly safe working conditions and communities.
Gold Shovel Standard Certification is a widely-recognized indication of increased safety awareness and a commitment to continuous damage prevention improvement. Excavators within Gold Shovel Standard rely on Gold Shovel Standard technology to measure safety and efficacy and are able to present hard data to support their reputation.
GROUPS 3
Employees must care about their own safety, and we continually emphasize ways for workers to stay safe. We also urge vigilance for how our work may affect others, including coworkers, other contractors and customers. Lastly, and most importantly, remembering our families while we work gives us the motivation to come home safely. Everyone has loved ones who care about and often depend on their safety.
