Eye on Safety

Safety is everyone's business! When something happens on a job site, it affects not only an individual but also every member of the building team - the developer/building owner, architect, subcontractor and contractor alike.

Creating a culture of safe work practices in your company operations is an investment in the future of your firm and your employees. It can decrease the likelihood of OSHA fines and costly litigation, create healthier, more productive workers, and cut down on time loss and employee absences on your site.

It's the law in Massachusetts. For
all employed on public sector job
sites in the Commonwealth, a minimum
of 10 hours of OSHA safety
training is mandated.

Safety:
How does your firm rate?

  • Is you insurance mod rate acceptable?
  • What do your clients require?
  • Is your staff up to speed on the latest OSHA standards?
  • Do you have a "competent Person" on your job sites?
  • Are your employees - your most valuable resource -SAFE?
  • Are they trained for emergency events?
  • Are your employees OSHA 10-hour trained?
