WACO, TX — Johnson Roofing today announced the company has more than 1 million work hours completed with no lost-time injuries since January 6, 2016.
As of April 30, 2023, Johnson Roofing had 1,009,415 hours without a lost time accident. In number of days, that is 2,657 days without accidents.
“Hitting this record means that our mission of excellence in safety is validated, but the pursuit to the next milestone continues,” said Johnson Roofing President and CEO Sherri Johnson McDonald. “The key to our success is constant training and empowering our team to make the right decisions.”
Johnson Roofing’s Safety Director, Kevin Sanders, says the company’s field crews are at risk of falling 90% of the workday. “This is quite an accomplishment for a small company in a high-risk OSHA category where falls are prevalent,” said Sanders.
Johnson Roofing fluctuates from 75 to 95 employees. “It takes longer to hit a million hours with fewer employees,” said Sanders.
Safety training is a substantial component of the company’s training program, Johnson Roofing University. According to McDonald, what differentiates Johnson Roofing from its competitors is the crews are fully trained on OSHA regulations with special emphasis on fall protection. The company also provides supplemental training for its subcontractor partners. All crews and subcontractor partners are covered by workers’ compensation insurance, protecting both the workers and the property owners.
Johnson Roofing has received Texas Mutual Insurance’s safety award for seven years for its constant focus on improving safety and the company’s safety record. In one instance, Johnson Roofing was selected from a pool of 48,000 companies to win one of 164 awards.
