Safety & Compliance

Our core value is taking responsibility.

Engaging with our employees, the community, the environment, the facilities, the fleet of barges and crafts, the trucks, and all the equipment it takes to operate effectively is a responsibility that must be managed on a daily basis.

The planned maintenance schedules monitor the vessel’s manning requirements, navigation standards, land and offshore regulations, safety and hygiene, pollution, physical and structural conditions, and towing equipment. Jankovich maintains good relationships with local, state, and federal agencies, and strictly adheres to all rules and regulations, enabling them to focus on professional relationships with customers, vendors, and the boating community.

Our policies and programs.

Performance Tracking — We track and report all operations against industry safety standards.

Stop Work Authority — We have an individual and shared commitment to safe processes and guidelines.

Continuous Improvement — We develop and implement procedures that help to prevent incidents, and we review best practices.

We protect our future.

• We operate in compliance with EPA, OSPR and Fish and Wildlife, OSHA, DOT, and all regulatory groups to protect our people, our communities and the environment. 

• We maintain inventories of environmental protection and response products to ensure other businesses are equipped to protect against environmental release.

Ethics and integrity.

Sustainability is rooted in ethics. We share a single Code of Ethical Business Conduct and our employees are encouraged to speak up to ensure our work environments adhere to the highest standards of integrity and safety. If you are concerned about something that may be illegal or unethical happening on the job, we encourage you to reach out to local reporting options or submit a report online by phone to the Saltchuk Ethics hotline.
