JMC Safety

Safety Policy Statement

At Jersey Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (JMC), the health and safety of our employees, subcontractors, clients, and the public is our highest priority. As a union plumbing and HVAC contractor, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace that meets or exceeds all applicable OSHA, State of New Jersey, and local regulations, as well as all union safety standards and project-specific requirements.

​

Our goal is zero incidents — every worker and stakeholder goes home safely at the end of each day.

Employee Responsibilities

Every employee, from apprentices to foremen, shares responsibility for maintaining a safe jobsite. All employees are expected to:

• Immediately report any unsafe condition, act, or incident to their supervisor.
   

• Participate in required safety meetings, toolbox talks, and training.
   

• Use tools and equipment only for their intended purpose and in a safe manner.
   

Stop work and notify supervision if a task cannot be performed safely.

• All new hires and subcontractors must attend a Safety Orientation before beginning work.
   

• Employees will receive ongoing training on job-specific hazards such as confined space entry, hot work, fall protection, and lockout/tagout.
   

• Weekly toolbox talks will be conducted by foremen or site supervisors.
   

Safety information will be communicated through postings, meetings, and digital notifications.
