Sheridan's Philosophy is based on the premise that quality cannot be achieved without safety.

We realize that Sheridan employees deserve a work environment that is free from injuries. Therefore, Sheridan managers have dedicated themselves to providing an injury free workplace for all employees and subcontractors.

Each manager, as a top priority, has taken responsibility for eliminating or managing all workplace hazards. Employees receive comprehensive training prior to actual job placement. This training includes a review of the Sheridan Corporations Occupational Safety and Health Program, our corporate drug and alcohol program, as well as our corporate safety goals.

Qualified in house instructors provide regular training seminars and certifications in such areas as CPR, First Aid, Fork Truck Safety, Lock Out Tag Out, Powder Actuated Tool Safety, Fall Protection Training, Hazardous Communication and Fire Prevention and Protection.

Prior to the start of any job, a site specific project safety plan is developed. This includes a job hazard analysis to address specific safety challenges and include a plan on how to deal with those challenges, utilizing the hierarchy of controls.

Jobsite safety meetings are conducted at least weekly to reinforce safety training, address any concerns and share valuable safety ideas that originate from our workers. We have found that this team approach to safety has greatly contributed to our safety success.

Field safety audits are performed by the Sheridan Corporation safety professionals and project managers on a frequent basis. These audits are the basis for documentation that receive a full Sheridan managerial distribution and are often topics at safety meetings. All Sheridan projects are staffed with Emergency Medical Technicians or CPR and First Aid trained and certified employees.

The Sheridan Corporation believes that our employees are our most valuable asset. We will strive for continuous improvement through safety training, skills training and personal accountability for all employees. This formula has guided us for the past fifty years and we look for it to guide us, as we "build for the future".
