WCP, INC. SAFETY PROTOCOLS
By working together, we can, to the greatest extent possible, minimize the safety risks relating to our work. Below are the highlights of our safety program.
On-Site Safety Practices
-
WCP Controls: WCP truck operators are the only individuals authorized to operate controls on WCP trucks.
-
Leaving the Curbside: We guarantee delivery to the curb on the jobsite. Once a WCP truck leaves the curb, the purchaser assumes responsibility of any damage that may occur due to weight or size of the WCP truck.
-
Power Lines: We will not back up a WCP mixer truck under any power lines that are within a two-foot distance from the mixer truck hopper.
-
Mixer Truck Height: Be advised that the height of a loaded mixer truck will be reduced up to 8 inches. If it will barely enter a building loaded, it may not be able to exit the building unloaded.
-
WCP Water Tanks: WCP brings water on-site for tempering the concrete. Our mixer operators are required to leave 50 gallons of water in the tank after unloading the mixer truck to properly wash down. Water discharged by request is the responsibility of the contractor’s on-site supervisor.
WCP Safety Principles
-
Right to Stop Work: Our truck operators are trained to decline to enter job sites that they deem unsafe. We are happy to send a QC rep to your site to evaluate the conditions before we send our trucks to prevent us declining to enter an unsafe site.
-
Safety Communication: We are responsive to your safety needs. Please let us know of any specific safety rules on your job sites. We also ask that you immediately contact our dispatch if our truck operators are observed acting in an unsafe fashion.
-
WCP Safety Plan: A copy of our company safety handbook is available to any customers that wish to review our standard practices.
On-Site Supervision
• On-Site Authority: Our mixer operators are required to secure a signature from an on-site supervisor on our delivery tickets. You agree to provide an on-site supervisor who is authorized and available to sign delivery tickets, approve the addition of water to the concrete, and approve WCP’s truck leaving the curb.
By signing below, I acknowledge receipt of this safety overview.
