Chapter 1 – Program Overview
Health and Safety
Safety is a very important subject. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its
partners are firmly committed to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment at all
project facilities. Safety and health are Parsons’ highest core values and are a responsibility
shared by everyone. Parsons strives to continuously monitor and improve our safety and
health processes.
A proactive approach to safety is the best way to prevent unnecessary accidents. Your
safety and well being is priceless. We encourage every inspector to make safety his or her top
priority. Meeting safety and health objectives require the combined efforts of everyone in an
organization. Investing time and energy to acquire the knowledge and skills to understand
safe work practices could save your life and prevent serious injury to you and others. Safety
training is recommended in the areas of chemical hazards, general safety, and emergency
preparedness.
As vehicles and equipment are involved, performing an inspection could have
potential hazards. In order to have a safe and productive environment, we suggest the
following safety items be available at a minimum:
� First Aid Kit
� Eyewashes and safety shower
� Fire extinguishers
� Emergency exits
� Adequate ventilation
� Clean work area
� Properly lit area
� Protective clothing
� Hand and foot protection
