At American Asphalt, our commitment to safety begins at the top. Our leaders have created a culture that emphasizes the health and safety of everyone associated with American Asphalt, including employees, our clients, and other community members. This lead-by-example approach has led to everyone following this initiative and keeping the same goal in mind.

To ensure a safe working environment for all, we employ the following practices:

Proper Training

We provide our employees with proper training, so they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to perform their duties efficiently and safely. At American Asphalt, we view training as an ongoing process. We continuously educate our team members on the best safety practices so they can protect themselves on the job site and those around them.

Properly Maintained Equipment

To perform our wide range of pavement and asphalt paving services and produce professional-looking results, our team members use specialized equipment. Our equipment ranges from heavy-duty machinery to everyday tools. Before every job, we thoroughly inspect each piece of equipment to ensure it can meet the project’s needs and is safe to operate.

In addition to in-depth equipment checks, American Asphalt ensures every piece of equipment is safely stored and maintained, even during periods when the equipment is not in use. This allows us to safely rely on machinery when necessary.

Use of Safety Gear

At American Asphalt, the use of safety gear and other personal protective equipment (PPE) is not optional. Instead, it’s a requirement on all job sites with no exceptions. Team members are instructed to wear their PPE whenever performing our vast lineup of services and professional offerings. PPE can include safety glasses, hearing protection, proper clothing, adequate footwear, and more. Every employee knows which PPE they must have before they begin a project.

Adherence to OSHA Guidelines

American Asphalt adheres to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines to create a safe and productive workplace. We’ve created stringent safety protocols and procedures in accordance with the standards set by OSHA. All our protocols are clearly posted, and workers are immediately notified of any changes.

Open Communication

We believe safety is best accomplished as a collaborative effort. Managers and others in leadership roles encourage open discussions to address safety issues and create effective solutions. All team members at American Asphalt are encouraged to engage in communication that can make our workplace safer.
