Ryan Group Safety

At the Ryan group, we insist upon providing and maintaining productive, injury-free workplaces for our employees and yours. Because we realize that safety is an ongoing and ever-changing process, Ryan partners with the Occupational Safety and Health Agencies (OSHA) at the federal and state levels to ensure that our safety procedures meet or exceed the highest standards.

In January 1998, Ryan and Associates, a Ryan Group division, received the prestigious Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star Award for three of its work sites from Federal OSHA. This is OSHA'S highest and most difficult award to achieve. To qualify for this award, OSHA officials worked with Ryan's management, safety teams, and employees to inspect and monitor our outstanding company designed and implemented health and safety procedures. For Ryan, achieving the VPP Star Award acknowledges and reinforces our commitment to safety. It is our number one priority.

Our stringent safety standards have paid off in many ways:

• Employees have improved motivation to work safely, leading to better quality and increased productivity.
• Worker compensation costs are reduced.
• Ryan insurance costs are reduced.
• VPP Award winning contractors experience fewer lost workday injuries than would be expected of an average project site of the same size.

For our clients, all of these factors translate into lower costs. Today, and in the future, you can count on The Ryan Group to continually promote and improve the rigorous safety standards that have made all Ryan Divisions role models for contractors region wide.

Ryan extends its safety expertise to our customers, too. Many times, we are called upon to provide assistance and training for a variety of topics. Among them are:

• Safety training
• Audits
• 10 HR OSHA training
• 30 HR OSHA training
• Safety presentations
