Why safety?
In an industry as dynamic as ours, it’s so easy for safety to take a back seat to production – it makes sense, you’re excited to move into your new home and we’re just as excited to build it! The truth is, safety should always be a top priority because a culture built around a habit of excellence in safety is also dedicated to performing their jobs the right way. Our long history of safety excellence and our innovative “Caught Working Safe” program is a testament to our commitment to safety and changing the game in the construction business.
Traditionally, safety on the construction site focuses on disciplining the people who are not working safe, Rohit aims to take a refreshing new approach by rewarding those that demonstrate safe work practices and strive to create a better environment for everyone involved. We want to make sure that all our trade partners and employees get back home safely, and an industry-wide trend of greater safety will only push us to become better.
This push for safety has recently been acknowledged by the industry. In September 2019, Rohit was the recipient of the acclaimed Large Volume SAFETY LEADERSHIP AWARD from BILD Alberta. “We‘re extremely proud of our position as an industry leader in safety,” said Adil Kodian, Executive Vice President at Rohit Homes. “I want to thank BILD Alberta for recognizing this critical component of our business and thank our team that makes it happen every day on the job site.”
To engrain safety into our teams and trades, Rohit hosts an annual Safety Week, celebrating safety in the workplace with a weeklong event for our staff and trade partners consisting of safety education, training, discussion, and prizes. And here is a fun message from the Rohit team promoting safety in the workplace with a music video – Doin’ Safety Right.
The Caught Working Safe Program
How it works
Caught Working Safe is about taking safety to the next level! For Rohit, we look at areas of proper safety training, PPE, necessary paperwork, and regular equipment inspection. Anyone on site "caught" going above and beyond the minimum requirements of safety is rewarded - each act is worth 1 entry into a grand prize draw for $2000 every quarter, with additional monthly prizes awarded throughout.
Make it your own
Rohit invites all trades and builders to take part in the Caught Working Safe program! It is our core belief that safety is a fundamental part of business and the industry as a whole, and not just exclusively for large organizations who can afford to create a full safety program. Caught Working Safe is already catching on and we want you to be a part of it! We've already done the leg work, just send an email to safety@rohitgroup.com and we'll send you any marketing materials and safety manuals that you need. Caught Working Safe is a continuously evolving program and can be customized to fit the unique needs of each company, industry, and the people that work within them. Ultimately the idea is to create a universally recognizable program - with presence in all work sites, company vehicles, manuals, and website - that will push safety to the forefront and create a safer future for all.
