Safety Training & Program Development

Safety is a Quinn value both on and off the job.  Quinn employees take full advantage of the many practices, procedures and incentives as they work within the highly successful “Zero Injury Strategy”. From a business perspective, both Owner Clients and Quinn Contracting Ltd benefit from the commitment of employees working safely.

Consistent application of the safety program elements is the key to reducing and eliminating incidents and injuries. To ensure Quinn employees are executing every task safely and efficiently, Quinn has developed a tool called SEVS; the Safe Execution Value Stream. Various “hold-points” identified in this tool stop tasks from proceeding until specific conditions are met. The end result of utilizing this system is that potential hazards are identified and then eliminated or controlled prior to crews beginning work. A key benefit of the Safe Execution Value Stream is that redundant or inefficient program elements are removed resulting in increased productivity and tool time.

 As evidence of their success, Quinn Contracting’s Worker Compensation premium rate and claims performance continue to be significantly lower than the industry average.

The foundation of Quinn’s strength lies with its people. Engaged employees, strong leaders, and a prepared workforce ensure that Quinn will deliver on their commitment to service excellence. To follow through on this promise, the “Decade for Development” (D4D) training program has strategically aligned 4 key areas; Succession Planning, Training & Development, Performance Management, and Recruitment & Selection. Through D4D, Quinn Contracting Ltd. seeks to deliver some of the best trained and capable leaders in the industry.

Quinn Contracting Ltd.’s Use of ISNetworld

As a member of ISNetworld since 2007, Quinn utilizes the most modern and up-to-date computer software packages to enhance their personnel’s abilities to provide the best service to their Owner Clients.

“One of the major values offered by ISNetworld is that they provide a focal point for all data to be drawn on by our Owner Clients,” stated David O’Callaghan, Business Development Manager.

Quinn uses the easily accessible database ISNetworld provides as a medium to communicate pertinent safety and quality process data to their Owner Clients. The rigorous review method ISNetworld offers for Safety Programs and Statistical Data allows Quinn to demonstrate their dedication to safety procedures within their industry.

“We think that ISNetworld gives Owner Clients comfort that Quinn really cares for its people,” remarked O’Callaghan when discussing the thorough review process of safety programs.

Furthermore, by attending several User Group Meetings and Help Desks, Quinn has been able to maximize potential Owner Client connections. By utilizing these meetings, Quinn benefits from a positive environment where Owner Client and contractor representatives can meet and lay a foundation for a solid business relationship.
