Lackey Sheet Metal / St. Louis Blow Pipe is committed to safety - the safety of our employees, our customers and our customer's employees and anyone in or around our projects. Construction, by nature, is a hazardous business. Lackey Sheet Metal / St. Louis Blow Pipe recognizes this and has developed and implemented a comprehensive in-house safety program. In keeping with the ever-changing needs of the construction industry, we utilize this safety program in our daily activities to ensure the safety of our employees and our customer's employees.

Lackey Sheet Metal / St. Louis Blow Pipe’s safety program includes a complete safety manual. Our Standard Training and Orientation (S.T.O.P.) and HAZCOM programs are used in the initial training of every construction worker. Lackey Sheet Metal / St. Louis Blow Pipe’s work force is required to complete the 30-hour O.S.H.A course. Construction Outreach programs are used to thoroughly train all management and supervisory personnel. In addition, these manuals are available at every jobsite and are used frequently to further train and prepare our labor force in safe construction practices.

Safety meetings called Toolbox meetings are held weekly at every jobsite and in the shop. During these meetings, supervisory personnel discuss safety topics specific to the jobsite or shop with the labor force to ensure that each member of the construction or fabrication team makes safety their top priority.

Lackey Sheet Metal / St. Louis Blow Pipe’s safety program is designed to adapt to the various types of products and equipment used. Material Safety Data Sheets are available at the jobsite and shop so all personnel can be well informed as to the potential dangers and safety measures recommended for each product used.

Safety responsibility starts with each worker, continues with the foreman and/or project manager and is overseen by our safety department. The safety department works with our insurance carriers, supervises jobsite safety and conducts jobsite safety inspections. They also prepare various statistical data and special reports to comply with regulatory procedures.

In the event of an accident on the jobsite, the vast majority of our work force arrives at your project with first-aid and C.P.R. training and certification. However, we believe it is due to our well-established safety training programs that we have been able to minimize the number of accidents on our jobsites.
