“As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in safety, Sevenson has incorporated the Capacity and Learning Model into our program. This approach enhances our ability to anticipate and manage unexpected conditions and ensure robust protection for our teams.” – Paul Jung, CIH, CSP, RRPT Director of Health and Safety
Sevenson recognizes the importance of safety and health to company operations, employees, on-site personnel, clients, and the local communities where we work, making it the most valued part of every Sevenson project.
The capacity to learn model focuses on empowering employees to adapt and evolve in the face of risks and hazards. The model goes beyond traditional approaches that emphasize strict rule compliance and strives to cultivate a learning-based mindset whether in the office or in the field.
Safety isn’t policy – it’s personal. Sevenson leads safety with people, prioritizes prevention, and is committed to continuous improvement to the program.
Safety is not the responsibility of one person; it is the responsibility of each individual on a job site. At Sevenson, our Safety Professionals include everyone in collaborating to continuously improve operations and essential controls.
Our ownership takes an active role in promoting a strong safety culture. From ensuring immediate access to the right protective equipment – to having open and candid conversations with our Director of Health and Safety – to participating in on-site discussions with our Safety Professionals and field staff, Sevenson’s leadership is directly involved in protecting the health and safety for everyone touched by our work. Additionally, Sevenson’s ownership supports investment in the Safety Professional Group’s growth by encouraging professional development opportunities such as professional designations, continuing education, organizational memberships, and training.
Sevenson’s team of 50+ Safety Professionals work collaboratively. They bring extensive general industry, construction, marine, and HAZWOPER knowledge to support environmental remediation operations. Our group of Safety Professionals operate as a unified team – meeting regularly to share perspectives, trade viewpoints, discuss ideas, and communicate insights. Our Safety Professionals lead comprehensive onboarding programs, conduct internal training across all levels of the organization, and play a key role in the continuous improvement of our safety management system and overall Health and Safety program.
Effective safety in environmental remediation requires more than policy – it requires a flexible system that adapts to unexpected changes in conditions Sevenson’s employees often encounter as they perform their work. Site specific health and safety plans are prepared for every project with layers of safeguards, real-time communication, and field-level awareness to manage and control risk. Instead of assuming every operation will go smoothly, we proactively contemplate unsafe situations that may arise as well as improve our ability to adapt, respond, and maintain a safe working environment with minimal impact to the project, the environment, or the people involved.
Sevenson is a proud member of both Avetta and ISNetworld, two of the industry’s leading contractor compliance and prequalification platforms. These memberships reflect our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in health and safety, risk management, and operational excellence. By actively participating in these systems, Sevenson provides clients with verified assurance that we meet or exceed regulatory, insurance, and performance requirements – streamlining onboarding and reinforcing trust in every project we undertake.
