Safety
Aloha
Safe work is a mandatory operating principle of R&L Ohana Insulation. With a goal of zero incidents, safety is the backbone for our daily decisions and is embedded in the thought process of each and every R&L employee. Protecting the welfare of our employees and our customers is key to our continued success. Everyone is encouraged to perform their tasks safely and are authorized to stop work when they perceive a risk as unacceptable. We are all Ohana and want everyone on our team to rest safely at home each night for their loved ones, for our customers, and for the company.
Stop Work Authority
Every R&L employee on every jobsite has the authority to stop work. No one has to ask permission, and no one is penalized for using it. A stopped task costs minutes.
Safety Leadership
R&L Ohana Insulation’s Safety Officer is responsible for site inspections, incident investigation, training records, and coordination with general contractor safety staff.

Daily Practice
Safety on our jobs is daily, not quarterly. Crews conduct pre-task planning before work begins, toolbox talks on a weekly cadence, and jobsite inspections by supervision and by the Safety Officer. Near-misses are reported and reviewed the same as incidents.
Written Programs
R&L Ohana maintains written safety and health program documentation covering hazard communication, personal protective equipment, fall protection, respiratory protection, lockout/tagout, heat illness prevention, and jobsite-specific hazard analysis.
Prequalification Documentation
