From the Safety Director:
Safety is a key part of a successful project. Our safety program uses education, hands on training, and job site inspections to insure that we are doing everything we can to create a safe work site for our employees, other trades and our customers.

Safety Policy
We have a written safety policy outlining all areas of safety concern and what we require and expect from our employees. There are clear guidelines and written consequences for not adhering to our safety policy. This safety policy is constantly reviewed and addenda are written to keep up with current standards and new equipment requirements.
Safety Inspections
We conduct routine safety inspections on all of our jobs. These inspections are performed by our full-time Safety Director and are also the responsibility of our project supervisors each time they visit the site. These inspections are followed up with a written report given to the project foreman with clear instructions on any violations requiring immediate action.
