The launch pad phase is where the project is scoped, established and launched (Jetson,J.). Information gathered in the architecture and organizational strategy phases are brought together and examined to decide where the project should be launched and how big a project should be. Stakeholders are identified and engaged to find out what their expectations are for the project.

Stakeholders

Stakeholder 1: General Contractors

1. The relationship between JUBA and the general contractor is as a subcontractor. The general contractor schedules all of the work done on the project.

2. The expectations of the general contractor (GC) are JUBA is subject to all of the general contractor’s safety rules and regulations. Having a top notch safety program will make compliance to the GC’s rules much easier.

Stakeholder 2: Owners

1. Owners are financing the work and materials needed to get their building out of the ground and complete.

2. Owners expect their buildings to be completed on time at budget and as the architectural plans specify. They want quality workmanship and on-time completion.

JUBA strives to keep all employees safe on the jobsite through training and inspections (JUBA).

Goals

The goals of this safety project:

1. Reduce on the job accidents and injuries, through 100% compliance to the fall protection and scaffold safety requirements.

2. With reduced safety incidents lower insurance rates. Current insurance rates are one million dollars for 2014. Juba wants a 20% or $200,000 reduction in premiums by 2015.

3. With fewer safety incidents job efficiency goes up resulting in more jobs being completed under budget and completion on or before scheduled completion dates.
