Safety at Kolb Grading

Everyone Gets Home Safe

Safety is not a metric or a ranking at Kolb Grading. It is a core value woven into every part of how we work, built on the same principles of integrity, trust, and performance our family founded this company on in 1960. Every precaution we take serves one goal: making sure every member of our team gets home safely, every day.

Kolb's Safety Program

Safety at Kolb Grading is not a checklist we complete or a number we report. It is a program of continuous improvement that exceeds industry standards, shaped by our internal safety specialists and validated by outside auditors. Because we are a family business, every policy comes back to one measure: whether it helps our people get home safely at the end of the day. Four commitments back that up on every site, every shift.

The Right Training

Ongoing safety education keeps our teams current as industry requirements evolve, with internal safety specialists and external auditors regularly reviewing our practices.

The Right Equipment

A new, well-maintained fleet is a safety program in itself. Modern machines with real-time controls reduce downtime, surprises, and risk on every site.

The Right PPE

Eye protection for any work generating particles, hard hats everywhere outside designated areas, job-specific gloves, and fall protection for all work above six feet. No exceptions.

Stretch and Flex

Every shift starts with job-specific stretching, repeated after lunch. It improves flexibility, reduces the risk of injury, and helps crews recover faster from fatigue.
