Craft Safety Ambassadors
• 100% dedicated craft safety people
• Representatives from the major unions
• Main focus is to make safety personal
– “Personal Touch” of each person on the job
– Safety for the right reason
• CSA mentoring period by staff safety people
• Distinct difference between the roles of the CSA and staff safety
people must be maintained
• Weekly meeting with senior safety staff to identify challenges and
successes
• 95-100% of their time spent in the field
• Limit the number of CSA’s to approximately 10 to insure quality vs.
quantity
• Weekly senior oversight needed to keep everyone on the same
page

Craft Safety - Challenges
• Time consuming initially for the safety staff to
onboard the CSA’s properly
• CSA’s find it challenging to walk the line
between being a tradesperson and the Safety
Dept.
• CSA’s require active engagement of their
Safety Leads and Project Management.
– They do not succeed without it.
