+Sustainability
is a Martinez Tradition
There are no new tricks to success in the
the concrete industry. Growth usually occurs for concrete contractors
when times are good, but it is the contractors that have appreciated
the growth with an attitude of sustainability that whether the
harder times.
There are several contributing factors to a contractors success through these
times. Some factors point to an active diversification of industries, others
point to efficient cash flow practices, setting aside a little for the lean years,
but lets consider another factor. The factor of tradition, the tradition to uphold
the highest standards in an industry for the sake of just doing the right thing.
Martinez’s business practices have never wavered - build the best product
available at an affordable price. It is a commitment to the trade that carries
the weight during these challenging times. Martinez has always had a vision for
the future, and now is no different. Our commitment to our workers, to upholding
the standards that we have worked hard to create are all at the forefront of
the decisions we make to stay active in our trade. New work, industry involvement,
and a commitment to our client has always been our tradition and those same principles
apply in our ability to create an atmosphere and corporate culture built on sustainability
-through thick or thin.
We are moving forward into new regions, hiring the best team members and looking
forward everyday to providing outstanding performance on every job we are graciously
awarded. Quality and commitment are cornerstones to every job we do...it is part
of our fiber, our brand and our tradition. |
+Safety:
a real life story:
One
month ago during Southern California's first heat wave, Martinez
was faced with the opportunity to put its heat illness prevention
program into use. During the mid-day heat, a
city inspector was overcome by the initial symptoms of heat illness
on a Martinez jobsite. Full-time, safety officer, Richard
Martinez, quickly worked under the guidelines that we had set
forth to react accordingly and provide the necessary assistance
to the inspector. Martinez
says, "if the training had not been at the forefront of
our everyday attention to safety, I probably wouldn't have seen
the signs and or I may have made a wrong decision in aiding with
the inspectors relief." We are proud to have been
able to provide the correct preventative and reactive measures.
Having been diligent in our approach to safety we were able to
help a fellow member of our industry, and keep the jobsite safety
record clean.THE FACTS: Our safety program has been treated as
a full scale department for over 8 years. We have a designated
safety officer that visits job sites everyday to assure that
our policies and procedures are being implemented and observed
by each and every employee. Here are just a few of the
programs and certifications that we have established and continue
to obtain.
1.
Heat
Illness Prevention Program
2. All Foremen, Cal-OSHA certification
3. All Foremen, CPR certified
4. Full Time safety officer |
