- A Focus on Continuously Improving
Construction and Workplace Safety Is a Top Priority -
AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB) - AvalonBay, a
leading multifamily real estate investment trust (REIT), is joining
forces with more than 50 national and global construction firms to
commemorate Safety Week 2016 from May 2-6. During this week,
AvalonBay will set aside time at each of its 28 construction sites
to participate in a Safety Stand Down by stopping all work activity
to thank employees for their commitment to creating an Incident and
Injury-FreeTM worksite and conduct on-site safety training
including demonstrations of safe work practices, and, in some
cases, participation by state and federal safety regulators.
“The safety of our construction worksites is always a top
priority,” said Michael Feigin, AvalonBay’s Chief Construction
Officer. “Participating in Safety Week is one more way AvalonBay is
showing its commitment to continuously improving workplace safety
and creating Incident and Injury-FreeTM worksites. Our approach
starts with fostering a culture based on a core belief that
everyone has the right to return safely each night to their homes
and families. We reinforce our safety culture through our
management processes as well as ongoing coaching and training which
helps us to continue to improve an already strong safety
record.”
AvalonBay has a dedicated, regionally focused safety
organization that supports our Incident and Injury-FreeTM
management approach by monitoring and supporting adherence to
safety policies, coaching and training employees, and ensuring
compliance with all AvalonBay requirements and all state and
federal laws and regulations.
