Safety Program

Spartan ensures a safe working environment with continuous safety and compliance training. Each employee is made familiar with our safety manual at the date of hire.  Our company has a wealth of experience and expertise that create a culture of operational safety within our company. We conduct training classes to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements on a regular basis. In addition, Spartan requires our employees to be certified in Operator Qualifications through Veriforce and Medic FirstAid CPR through ASHI.

Spartan equips our employees with the necessary training they need to function effectively and safely at work. We have advanced training materials designed to make our workers understand and comply with all the safety and health aspects of their job.

Spartan Field Services also has safety and security options available for your business!

Identify potential hazards to health and safety in it's respective projects.

Collect and review information about the hazards present or likely to be present in the workplace. Conduct initial and periodic workplace inspections of the workplace to identify new or recurring hazards. Investigate injuries, illnesses, incidents, and close calls/near misses to determine the underlying hazards, their causes, and safety and health program shortcomings. Group similar incidents and identify trends in injuries, illnesses, and hazards reported. Consider hazards associated with emergency or nonroutine situations. Determine the severity and likelihood of incidents that could result for each hazard identified, and use this information to prioritize corrective actions. 

Prescribe suitable means for the evaluation and control of hazards.

Spartan Field Services believes that all injuries are preventable; therefore, we will continually strive to prevent injuries from occurring. Management also recognizes that every employee shares in the responsibility for safety on the job; consequently, safe work practices and timely reporting of incidents and potential accidents (i.e., near misses and unsafe conditions) are a condition of employment.

Everyone is encouraged to provide suggestions and establish high personal goals for eliminating accidents and injuries. Participation in the meetings to discuss the safety aspects of each assignment is mandatory. If the source of a hazard cannot be eliminated, the use of special procedures, safety devices, or protective equipment and clothing must be utilized to reduce the exposure potential; if these measures cannot sufficiently reduce the potential for harm, then the job will not be performed.

Spartan Field Services will take a proactive approach to conducting the safety and health program. Incidents and near misses will be investigated, and the pertinent information that is uncovered during the investigation will be distributed or discussed during the following safety meeting.

Investigate all accidents and institute corrective actions to prevent re-occurrence.

Investigating a work site incident— a fatality, injury, illness, or close call— provides employers and workers the opportunity to identify hazards in their operations and shortcomings in their safety and health programs. Most importantly, it enables employers and workers to identify and implement the corrective actions necessary to prevent future incidents. 

Provide guidance for compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and make specific reference to such regulations where appropriate. 

An overall safety policy has been developed to provide guidance to the health and safety performance Spartan Field Services intends to achieve. The policy is supported by the Safety Values, which is signed by all members of senior management. The policy is made available to our employees, clients, sub-contractors and the general public. The Safety Values posting is prominently displayed in Spartan Field Services offices and includes the signatures of the employees at that location.

Promote health and safety awareness among Spartan personnel by developing and implementing effective training programs to minimize the impact of workplace hazards.
