Meet the Members of Haskell’s Safe, Successful JCLDS Program

Safety is one of Haskell’s core operating principles. The commitment to a zero-injury, zero-incident work environment for team members, contract partners and all others on the company’s job sites and facilities is woven into the company’s culture.

Meeting this exacting standard can be more challenging in parts of the world where government standards, common industry practices and, sometimes, society set lower expectations. But in several of such locations, team members in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (JCLDS) Safety Program have changed not only work practices but also lives.

Applying the learnings of an average of 3,500 hours of innovative training monthly, team members and contract partners in the program have surpassed 10 million manhours without a lost-time injury. More than that, they have developed a culture of safety and high-quality work that has positively affected their livelihoods and their greater communities.

In their own words, team members shared their thought on their experience working in the JCLDS Program and what its slogan, “Building People in the Process of Building Temples,” means to them.
