FIRM BACKGROUND/TEAM/EXPERIENCE <br />SAFETY FIRST: OUR CORE VALUE <br />At Larson -Danielson, safety isn't just a policy —it's a personal <br />commitment. Our "Work Safe, Stay Safe" motto, launched <br />in the early 2000s, reminds every employee that safe <br />behaviors at work protect them and their families at home. <br />Backed by a 240-page safety manual, frequent training, <br />and full-time safety leadership, safety drives every decision <br />on our jobsites. <br />We undertake the sections of a project that are statistically <br />the most hazardous, namely, manual selective demolition, a Loll• <br />concrete, and framing tasks. Only a handful of strain or sprain - <br />related injuries can significantly impact our annual workers' <br />compensation claims expenses. Safety demands swift adaptation as <br />risks change, and this spawned quick changes. <br />�n <br />Thus, in 2023, we instituted our "Next Level Safety" initiative, to focus on the risks that strains and <br />sprains posed to a rapidly aging construction workforce. Our executives visited ourjobsites, meeting <br />directly with journeymen and apprentices to communicate the risks of poor ergonomics and ensure <br />that everyone directly heard the commitment to safety from the top down. <br />■ Proven Results <br />• The cost of our non -subjugated worker's compensation claims dropped 84% over the last 2 <br />years. <br />• Our recordable incident rate reduced by 35% from 2023 to 2024. <br />■ Key Program Highlights <br />• A clear Jobsite Safety Analysis (JSA) procedure that requires employees to review potential <br />hazards and document a plan to address those hazards. Our superintendents wrote 1,254 <br />JSAs in the last year alone. <br />• We've hired a second, full-time safety coordinator, doubling our safety professional staff. <br />Our coordinators develop new safety policies, assist superintendents in planning safe <br />operations, and monitorjobsites for compliance. <br />• Use of independent consultants to review jobsite tasks, specifically looking at the <br />ergonomics of worker movements and the risk of strains and sprains. <br />• Use of an industry leading cloud -based mobile safety app, Real Time Risk Solutions. This <br />technology provides clear JSA and safety forms accessible from any device. That lets us <br />quickly track JSA compliance and spot trends in safety observations. <br />We will bring this proven safety culture and infrastructure to the Kennedy Park project, ensuring <br />compliance with all state and local requirements, and most importantly, ensuring that every worker <br />goes home safe. <br />10 Proposal for Construction Manager as Constructor Services Page 14 of 30 <br />Kennedy Park — South Bend, Indiana <br />
