Safety Training Programs

Safety Orientation
All new hires attend a 4-hour long hands-on safety orientation at our office with our Safety Manager.  There they get training on our safety policies and on specific hazards to their trade and preventative measure.  They also receive our Employee Safety Packet in English and/or Spanish which contains our safety policies and procedures and they sign off that they received and understood them.

Tool/Equipment/Site Specific
We perform ongoing safety training as needed, based on an employee’s experience or lack thereof with our various tools, equipment and job site specific training needs.

Professional Construction Leader (PCL) Training
We perform safety training with our field leaders of which are titled, “Professional Construction Leaders.”  We have trained them on topics such as leadership skills, competent person training, accident investigation, additional scaffold & fall protection training, coaching employees, unsafe act enforcement, etc.  We have approximately 45 PCL's.  Each PCL was trained on performing weekly toolbox safety talks, weekly safety inspections, field accident report forms, our Assured Ground Program and our “Unsafe Act Hot List.”  All of the above is performed by the PCL electronically through an App so everything is turned in to our Safety Manager seamlessly and timely.  

The role of the PCL is to be a leader of safety in the field. They are expected to lead by example when it comes to safety by always working in a safe manner and helping us to reach our safety goals.  PCL's help ensure that our job sites are safe to work at and that our employees are working in a safe manner.  The PCL's also perform daily Task-Based Safety Awareness Huddles with our crews before any work commences.  We feel the safety huddles are a key driver to our safety success and make us best in class when it comes to safety in our industry!
