Construction Health and Safety

Something that continues to surprise me is that there are still so many accidents on job sites. Safety is paramount and if safety procedures were followed to a 'T' these accidents wouldn't be happening with near the frequency that they are

We all know that OSHA takes safety very seriously (as should we all).

Do you have a professional safety program in place?

OSHA's budget has been increased significantly for the “whistle blower enforcement” program

Did you know that OSHA requires ALL contractors (in EVERY state) to hold frequent safety meetings?

Did you know that holding frequent safety meetings and avoiding job site accidents (duh, huh?) ;o) are the two best ways to lower your workers comp rates?

Did you know that OSHA can show up on the job site at any time and request to see your safety program and records of meetings?

Construction workers/installers are crucial to a successful construction business and the cost of them being out of work in an injury related accident can be very expensive.

Once someone is injured the expense of that person being out of work goes well beyond paying that person's wages.

  • Your insurance rate may go up

  • You either end up behind on a project because you're a man down or you pay OT to the other workers to pick up the slack and stay on track

  • You may get a visit from OSHA; if so they won't accept "Sure we have a safety program" - they're going to insist that you show it to them
  • Chances are you'll have to continue to pay his wages to him since he was injured on the job
  • You're going to have to spend time going back over your safety practices to see where it can be 'tighter' to try to avoid more accidents
