safety first!
Catcord Construction’s number one goal on site is the safety of its employees, vendors, clients and general public. All of our staff is well trained in this arena and are expected to keep a safe worksite. Catcord Construction is committed to promoting and maintaining a safe working environment at all of its projects, and requires all subcontractors and/or vendors to comply fully with the safety requirements referenced by the Contract Documents. To this end, we require all subcontractors and/or vendors whose work involves field labor, to enter into a commitment to comply with all safety regulations at the project, as well as certain other safety standards that we set forth in our Subcontractor Safety Requirements Program.
Our project superintendents, or designated safety supervisor for this project, will be periodically conducting safety-related inspections. Violations to either Catcord Construction’s Safety Program, or to OSHA related standards, will be remedied immediately. Weekly toolbox safety meetings will be held by our superintendent, and attendance by all contractors is mandatory. In the event that assistance is needed in developing a contractor’s site Safety program, our Safety officer will assist contractors in any way we can. We earnestly solicit all our subs cooperation in this regard, and are available to them and their employees in order that safety awareness and compliance be established throughout joint efforts.
