Safety Programs

At Fru-Con, adherence to safe work practices that protect the well-being of every employee is not just a statement. It is a deep and abiding commitment – to our employees, our clients and the communities in which we work. Safety is more important than profit, quality or schedule.

Safety is a core value of Fru-Con. It is reinforced by a comprehensive employee safety and health policies that encompass highly disciplined practices and systems, and supported with a comprehensive, top-down commitment. To sustain our tradition of safety excellence, we adhere to a zero-incident safety goal and firmly believe all incidents are preventable. Daily safe work practices education, internal measurement and external benchmarking, and team awards and recognition contribute to our corporate culture of “safety first.” During 2008, the Fru-Con team has continued to build remarkable improvements in all facets of employee safety and health with zero lost-time injuries and two recordable injuries.

Total workers’ compensation claims, which are injuries requiring medical attention, have continued a downward trend since 2004. This is truly significant because of the pyramid effect of injuries. Industry statistics show that for every 100 injuries requiring medical attention, 10 will be recordable and one will result in lost time. Reducing the number of recordable injuries and lost-time injuries requires diligent attention to preventing workers’ compensation claims.

Fru-Con’s goal is to send every employee home in exactly the same condition as they arrived – except maybe tired! We are grateful to each employee for their safety practices that make our goals achievable.
