Safety

Our first priority on every job site

Risk Assessment

Our staff encounter buildings, structures, and sites that have been impacted by disaster. Fires, floods, wind, and even hail damage can leave facilities in dangerous conditions, so before any of our workers step foot on a property an initial Risk Assessment is conducted.

Our safety engineers develop a plan to ensure mitigation and restoration can be done in the safest manner possible.

Safety Instruction

Every laborer, tradesman, and tech is given safety instructions based upon our Risk Assessment report before starting any job. These instructions, sometimes referred to as "toolbox talks", typically occur on-site, moments before stepping foot on a subject property, to ensure that our workers and customers are kept as safe as possible during our operations.

Common Construction Hazards

Understanding the hazards on construction sites is the first step to preventing accidents. Each of these hazards is preventable with the right planning, tools, and training.

Falls

From uneven surfaces, unprotected edges, and faulty scaffolding. Falls remain one of the most common causes of injury on job sites.

Struck-By Incidents

From machinery, tools, and vehicles on-site. Proper awareness of surroundings and protective equipment are critical.

Electrocution

Exposed wires, power lines, and faulty equipment present serious electrical hazards that require constant vigilance.

Caught-In/Between

Accidents involving machinery and collapsing structures. Proper lockout procedures and structural assessments prevent these incidents.

Hazardous Materials

Dust, fumes, and chemicals present health risks. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are essential.

Environmental Exposure

Extreme heat, cold, or weather conditions can put workers at risk. Scheduled breaks and proper gear help mitigate exposure risks.

Safety Tips

Safety starts with you. If something feels unsafe, don't risk it — stop and assess.

  • Use protective equipment — helmets, gloves, glasses, and harnesses
  • Stay alert to changing conditions, moving equipment, and hazards
  • Report hazards immediately — quick action prevents accidents
  • Follow training and procedures for tools, heights, and materials
  • Communicate clearly with your team using proper signals
  • Take breaks — fatigue leads to mistakes

Responsibilities

Employers who prioritize safety protect their teams and inspire greater trust and loyalty.

  • Provide comprehensive training and refresher courses
  • Supply proper protective gear and ensure correct usage
  • Conduct regular inspections of tools, machinery, and workspaces
  • Create site-specific safety plans with emergency procedures
  • Promote open communication and encourage hazard reporting
  • Comply with OSHA and local safety regulations
