On every jobsite

Credentials only matter if they show up on the jobsite. Here’s what safety looks like on a Trinity site, every day:

• Morning safety briefings. Every crew starts the day going over the plan, the hazards on that site and who’s doing what.
• Call 811 before we dig. Utilities are located and marked before any excavation, and we hand dig near marked lines.
• Trench protection. A competent person inspects every trench daily. Trenches 5 feet and deeper are sloped, benched or protected with a trench box, as OSHA requires.
• Equipment inspections. Operators walk around and check their machines before every shift, and anything unsafe gets parked until it’s fixed.
• Spotters and swing zones. Spotters guide backing trucks and equipment, and everyone stays clear of the swing radius.
• PPE on every site. Hard hats, hi-vis, safety-toe boots and eye protection, plus hearing and respiratory protection when the work calls for it.
• Confined space procedures. Manholes and structures are treated as confined spaces, with air monitoring before anyone goes in.
• Stop-work authority. Anyone on a Trinity crew can stop the work if something looks unsafe, with no pushback.
• Report and learn. Incidents and near misses are reported and reviewed so the same thing doesn’t happen twice.

The goal is simple: everyone goes home the same way they showed up.
