The McKernon Group is committed to safety as a mandate for all of our construction projects. We have implemented a rigorous program led by our safety officer. He oversees proper training and compliance of regulations for all employees and subcontractors. We also have in place, Dr. Joseph Monkofsky, an experienced board certified occupational physician. "Dr. Joe" provides part-time services to our employees with an emphasis on injury and illness prevention, environment, health and safety programs, worker's compensation issues, and disability management. Employees have attended seminars led by safety consultants covering topics from fall protection to mold abatement. Content centers around the true cost of job site injuries to businesses and famlies of the injured. Safety equipment is demonstrated hands-on. Safety requires extra time and equipment, and we believe it is a good investment. As a result, we have lowered our incidence of injury, yielding savings and increasing efficiency throughout the company. The benefits realized encourage us to continue improving the working environment for our employees and for others within the construction industry.
