Comprehensive Safety Program

A comprehensive safety program is the best insurance employees have to avoid injuries. At Korellis, we have safety regulations in place that meet or exceed roofing industry standards. We make every effort to see that our equipment meets the highest safety standards in the industry. We always maintain proper jobsite conditions that ensure a safe working environment for our employees, our customers, and the general public so our clientele can place full confidence in our determine to keep safety on our worksites a top priority.

Safety training is ongoing at Korellis. Mandatory monthly meetings for all employees give us the opportunity to address current job hazards and concerns and other pertinent safety topics. Every year we hold a “Safety Fest” – a full day safety training seminar with instructors who present a variety of safety topics including material handling, working with hot asphalt, fire fighting, proper use of personal fall prevention systems and more.

Our safety program includes a full-time safety manager; monthly company-wide safety meetings; weekly job-site tool box talks; and training to keep up to date on OSHA requirements.

We also promote safety through our online video series “QuiKVids” and employee Spot Bonuses for employee safety that exceeds expectations.

At Korellis, we recognize that to be successful, a program of continuous improvement must be upheld. With our employees and customers in mind, our Safety Program gets the highest priority. All of our field forces hold 10-hour OSHA cards and many have or are in the process of obtaining their 30-hour OSHA training.

INSHARP Certification

Korellis is one of only 49 companies in the state of Indiana to be granted the INSHARP (Indiana Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) Certification for operating exemplary safety and health management systems. INSHARP is designed to commend small and high-hazard Hoosier employers for the highest level of excellence in workplace safety and health.

Substance Abuse Prevention Program

Korellis takes pride in the fact that all of our employees are professional and drug free.

We have a drug testing program in place in conjunction with the BCRC (Building Construction Resource Center), a labor/management administrator of random testing programs. All job applicants are drug tested before their first day of work. Afterwards, the program conducts random drug screenings of all employees, to include all senior management and staff.

Roofing is a dangerous business. The consequences of drug abuse can be tragic not only for users and their families, but also for co-workers and customers who are put in jeopardy by others’ illicit use of drugs.

Korellis has a commitment to all their employees, including the vast majority who are not and will not become drug abusers. We believe that we not only have a right to strive to maintain a workplace free from drug abuse, we have a duty to do so.
