We are a mid-size general contractor from Vandalia, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton, that performs many environmental and heavy civil construction projects. We build waste / environmental construction projects and public improvement projects of all varieties (roads, bridges, site development, asphalt paving, and concrete work). We excel in large, complex, fast-track earthwork projects and integrated ash management projects. We have worked for various owners, including municipalities, national design-build firms, national waste disposal companies, and large utility companies.
R.B. Jergens employs a group of highly trained individuals specializing in the complete management of the Utility Industry’s waste components. We have successfully secured multiple large-scale projects involving the construction of new landfill cells, including all of the infrastructure components required, such as bridges, drainage systems, leachate collection systems, erosion and sedimentation control measures, etc. We have also completed the dry ash impoundment closure and are currently closing the country’s first sizeable wet ash impoundment.

ENVIRONMENTAL / HEALTH & SAFETY
R.B. Jergens complies with all laws, regulations, and other policy mechanisms concerning safety and environmental issues to ensure our work is performed in a safe and environmentally sound manner.
We put an extremely high focus on safety. Our goal on each project is “ZERO” - zero lost-time injuries, zero near misses, and zero first aid incidents. Our EMR is well under 1.0, and we maintain a Recordable Incident Rate well below the owner’s requirements. We ensure our employees have received the proper training for each project we undertake. Our actual safety qualifications can be made available upon request.
Safety Culture
R.B. Jergens places its highest priority on the safety of our employees. We believe that all accidents are preventable, and therefore we strive for a goal of zero accidents every year. There is no other goal that is acceptable! To obtain this zero-accident goal, we continually improve our safety culture, which promotes an incident and injury-free workplace through innovative training and educational programs and the creation of, and adherence to, safe work practices. Safety is a tool that our employees use regularly.
Daily Focus
We use job planning and safety tools for each project, such as Job Safety Analyses (JSA’s) and Job Site Safety Talks. Additionally, all employees are encouraged to constantly look for (and report) any job site hazards and potentially unsafe situations. Our superintendents and safety staff continuously tour our worksites to search for and eliminate safety concerns or risks. If an unsafe or unplanned condition is observed or a near-miss has been witnessed, all employees are authorized to stop work and notify supervision so that the situation may be safely remedied.
Training
In addition to daily safety training, R.B. Jergens encourages and conducts safety training throughout the year. We offer numerous safety training programs to keep the employees updated on current safety issues/practices. While some training sessions are new and represent the latest industry standards, others are a recurring event year in and year out. Repeating many safety classes instills a habit of safety awareness among our employees. R.B. Jergens believes that an educated and empowered employee presents a safer and more productive workforce.
