About Us.
Our Team.
Criterion's team of staff consists of two full-time project managers, a project engineer, a full-time safety professional, an accounting manager, a project coordinator and an equipment manager. We also maintain a core group of six project superintendents who represent Criterion's ideals of quality and teamwork.
Our Dedication to Safety Excellence.
Safety is our number one priority, central to delivering and project with equality. Our full-time Safety Program Manager reviews the hazards of each project and prepares a Site Specific Safety Plan to be a companion document to the Criterion Safety Manual. In addition, we work in partnership with Alaska Occupational Safety and Health (AKOSH) on a voluntary compliance program on every project.
Criterion invites OSHA to inspect our job sites to look for deficiencies, and areas where we may improve. Our rapport with OSHA compliance officers is positive and we always strive to improve worker safety. All workers, regardless of rank, are instructed that they have the right and the duty to stop any job process if they see a safety hazard. At Criterion we empower our work force to help search out health and safety hazards.
The benefits have been exceptional: a large reduction in injuries, a committed workforce and better morale.
