Safety Program

Juba Aluminum Products Company is committed to providing the safest possible working conditions for all of its employees. Our primary concern is the prevention of accidents which may cause injury to employees or damage to equipment and property. The company’s goal is to train each employee to develop the proper safety awareness that is vital to the elimination of all accidents.

It is necessary that all employees exercise good judgment in every task performed, with their personal safety always in mind. Because safety depends upon the employees’ actions and knowledge, we request the whole-hearted observance of all safety rules and recommendations.

Since 2001, Juba employees have participated in a company Safety Incentive Program. This Program is designed to provide incentives for safety conscience employees using a proactive thought process in preventing accidents and injuries. The awards are divided into cash awards as well as selected merchandise. Please refer to Juba Safety Incentive Program for additional information.

On the job safety compliance is not only a requirement under federal and state law, but a requirement of our insurance carrier. The company complies with and, in most cases, exceeds all current occupational health and safety regulations.

The company and its associates believe that accidents are preventable and nothing you do is too important that you must risk your health or life to do it. It is up to each employee to ensure that we practice safety as a routine part of our daily work.

Safety is an important inclusion in our position descriptions and performance evaluations. To ensure we are making every effort possible to instill a safety conscience culture, all onsite superintendents, lead foremen and designated lead personnel are OSHA 30-HR certified. Additionally, all Juba project managers and safety personnel are OSHA 30-HR certified.

Juba Aluminum Products has a comprehensive Superintendent’s Manual that contains all appropriate checklists and procedures for performing work on projects and describes the policies and practices of all work within our scope. The Manual is comprised from any or all of the following sections and is maintained on each project. Additionally, we provide a Site Specific Safety Plan required for each job.
