At HILL CRANE...
Safety is priority one
Our success is anchored in a robust foundation of safety that is intricately woven into the very fabric of our corporate identity. From the very first day, every member of the Hill Crane Service team wholeheartedly embraces and champions our deeply valued safety culture, demonstrating unwavering enthusiasm and commitment. This dedication not only enhances our work environment but also fosters a community where safety is prioritized and celebrated.
We pride ourselves on cultivating safe, healthy working conditions where accident prevention is promoted at all levels of our organization and our activities. As part of our safety culture, we’ve adopted several procedures and systems, including:
- Tailgate Safety Meetings
- 3-point lift inspections
- Quarterly company-wide safety meetings
- Strict Anti-drug and Alcohol programs that exceed Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) standards
- Daily safety topics
- All employees carry a L.A.R.S.O card
- OSHA Inspections forms
- Pre-trip inspection of all equipment
- Extensive IIPP and health and safety programs/manuals
Our safety is reflected in our Experience Modification Rate (EMR):
One of the lowest in the industry! .54
Culture of safety...
Safety efforts are made as early as the pre-job planning phase. We work with clients to identify job site difficulties and safety concerns and work to provide solutions. As part of that process, Hill Crane Service uses several different tools, from 3D job planning in Autocad to Liebherr Liccon Planner, a program supplied by Liebherr Cranes.
With AutoCAD, we can reconstruct the job site in a virtual 3D computer environment drawn to scale, allowing us to perform the lift in virtual reality. Using that high-tech modeling, we can proactively address any questions or concerns and identify potential risks.
For us, safety is one part of the job that never ends.
