TRAINING
Demo Salvage inc has a well established training program and a detailed safety manual. To be effective, the program must be backed up with a comprehensive training and follow-up program. We must work constantly to ensure that our employees meet the standards of these manuals. This is achieved by an ongoing training program and close oversight of all operations. To ensure that the employees are educated with the very best safety awareness, our company has prepared a list of training areas that allow the most effective safety knowledge.
New hires are placed with a knowledgeable foreman and a team of experienced personal. These workers will be given close supervision in there initial days of employment. New hires are scrutinized closely for there work habits, knowledge, attentiveness and ability.
As each employee is ready to graduate into new areas of work or skills, additional specialized training and or apprenticing is continued. In addition, during the course of the year, all employees are frequently updated with safety topics through handouts, literature, special seminars, weekly tailgate meetings, site-specific safety training. This provides the employees with a continuous opportunity to update their knowledge of safe work practices.
Employees are encouraged to submit suggestions and participate actively in the ongoing training and safety programs. Depending on the type of work being undertaken, we also avail ourselves to local training programs and specialties.

BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY
BBS is a process that provides a higher level of safety excellence by promoting proactive responses, building ownership, and developing opportunities which relate to employee safety. A primary concept is that most accidents are due to unsafe behavior, and behavior changes may be made to reduce accident risk.
Safe behaviors include following health and safety plans, using work practices that minimize risk, coaching others on safe behavior, and having safety as a priority over speed and convenience.
Demo Salvage Inc recognizes that in order for BBS to work, each employee must hold safety in the highest value. Employes feel responsible for the safety of there coworkers as well as themselves.
At DemoSalvage, we provide clearly defined safety expectations and enforce consequences for observed at-risk behavior. Most importantly, through employee observations and checklists, we provide positive feedback for safe behavior as well as intervene when observing at-risk behavior. We work as a team in all aspects of our projects - safety being the highest priority.
Projects
Every DEMOSALVAGE project, large or small, is engineered for safety, both for the work force and the general public. Project planning and safety engineering must be backed up by a well-trained and safety conscious workforce.
Demo Salvage Inc has stressed that training and safety issues are to receive the highest priority. To increase our effectiveness and ensure that our safety is not just a practice, but a culture, Trans-Utility services has adopted a Behavioral Based Safety Program (BBS) to empower our staff and embed safe work practices into everything we do.
