Safety

Safety is a top priority at Canyon Concrete, Inc. We want every employee to
return home each day with no injuries. Training is the single most important
element of Canyon Concrete's safety program because it makes the
employees aware of the hazards of concrete construction. New employees are
given a safety briefing and drug screening during their in-processing. The
safety briefing covers the basics of construction safety and the employees are
required to sign an acknowledgement form.

Periodically, the OSHA 10-hour safety course and the MSHA new miners'
safety course are conducted for new employees. MSHA 8-hour refresher
training is also conducted annually. Field supervisors are also trained and
certified using the Red Cross First Aid/CPR program. Employees that will be
operating heavy equipment are trained, tested and licensed to operate the
equipment. At a minimum the equipment training includes lift trucks,
crawler loaders, scissor lifts, and boom manlifts. Toolbox talks are also
conducted weekly by the superintendents, and monthly by the safety
manager. This training keeps safety at the forefront of the employee's minds.

Canyon Concrete also offers a variety of training classes to other companies
and individuals. Courses include the OSHA 10 and 30-hour Construction
Safety and Health classes, MSHA New Miner, Annual Refresher,
Experienced/Returning Miner classes, Red Cross First Aid/CPR classes,
and DOT Drug and Alcohol training for drivers and supervisors.
