Terms & Conditions

It is Arden Engineering Constructors, LLC & M.J. Daly, LLC policy to provide a safe working environment for all of their employees. To fulfill this commitment, safety is considered the first priority in everything we do. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. To ensure employees are aware of required safety practices and procedures; training in the recognition of safety and health hazards and various other specific safety related topics are conducted continuously. Supervisors are provided additional training and semi-annual Foremen meetings are held to discuss safety requirements and recent safety related events. A safety discipline program is in place to ensure safety violations are immediately addressed and corrected. Each company has a safety committee represented by all crafts and management that meets monthly to discuss accidents, injuries, safety trends, and new safety requirements. Lastly, a safety incentive program is in place to keep “Safety First” as the focal point to heighten the safety awareness of our employees.

Safety Incentive Program - Our safety incentive program is an award program exclusively for all craft and selected warehouse employees.   

Who Can Participate? - All craft and selected warehouse employees can earn safety points by exercising safe work practices and achieving accident free work performance. Safety is a team effort therefore the overall safe performance on any one job affects the eligibility for safety points for all employees on the same job.

 

Earning Safety Points - Employees (as designated above) are eligible to earn safety points to be used for the purchase of special merchandise.  Safety points are earned as follows:

 

Injury - Any employee incurring a recordable injury will lose 80 points and not be eligible to accrue safety points until he/she has worked safely for two weeks from the date of injury.  

 

Modified Duty Injury - Any employee incurring an injury resulting in a modified duty status will lose 80 points and not be eligible to accrue safety points until he/she has worked safely for six (6) weeks from the date he/she returned to work in a full duty status.

 

Lost Time Injury - Any employee incurring an injury resulting in time-away-from-work status (lost time) will lose 80 points and not be eligible to accrue safety points until he/she has worked safely for twelve (12) weeks starting from the date he/she returned to work in a full duty status.

 

Associate Employees - If a preventable recordable injury occurs (including modified duty status) all employees working at the jobsite on the day of the injury will lose 40 points.  If a lost time status injury occurs all employees at the jobsite on the day of the injury will lose 80 points.  The respective safety committee members will make the decision as to whether or not the accident/injury was preventable.

 

Bonus Safety Points - Bonus safety points will be awarded to employees working on job sites that display a proactive approach to safety beyond what is expected.  A proactive approach means the Arden or M.J. Daly areas of responsibility on the job site are kept clean, no unserviceable tools are found in use, all personal protective equipment (i.e. hard hats, safety glasses, hearing and fall protection) is used where required, etc. Management and the Director of Safety will perform safety audits to determine compliance with the safety program. The bonus safety points will be awarded to employees responsible for the proactive approach and are good toward the purchase of merchandise from the current safety incentive program. The Director of Safety is responsible for awarding the bonus safety points to each employee’s account and informing senior management when bonus points are distributed. Bonus safety points can also be earned when employees’ safety performance or awareness goes beyond company expectations. For example, an employee notices a dangerous safety hazard from another craft or contractor and notifies their supervisor of the hazard so it can be addressed. Another example would be a non-supervisory employee volunteering to conduct a weekly Tool Box Talk.

 

Redeeming Safety Points - Safety points earned will be issued weekly and are redeemable for merchandise from the Arden Engineering/M.J. Daly Safety Incentive Program website at www.ArdenDaly.com. Points can be redeemed anytime.  A hard copy catalog is available upon request for employees who do not have access to the internet. Employees can save (bank) their earned points for a maximum period of 18 months. Points older than 18 months will be automatically dropped from the employee’s balance with or without prior notice. Employees earning points will be provided with a “points balance” report approximately every five weeks with their pay information. Safety points are non-transferable and will be invalid if an employee is terminated for cause. Safety point awards are not to be duplicated in any manner. Gift cards are subject to the terms and conditions of their respective vendor.

This program is subject to change or termination at anytime without notice. 

“Safety First” is our commitment to see that every employee goes home safe at the end of each and every workday.
