Safety Is A Prime Concern for Concrete Contractors

Concrete contractors services encompass a wide variety of complimentary functions from site development to concrete finishing.  Engaging a company that places safety first will likely permit your project to avoid unnecessary delays, fines, and worker injuries.

Safety concerns should be at the top of a company's priority list, especially in the commercial construction industry.  Each year construction workers are fatally injured as a result of injuries suffered on the job site.  The presence of heavy machinery, enormous building materials (such as iron beams), extreme heights, and deep pits, result in dangerous working conditions.

Established in 1888, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is a sub-cabinet of the US Department of Labor.  It is the principal fact finding agency for the US government, and it produces annual reports on injuries suffered in the workplace.

In its 2008 report it stated that over 5,700 people were fatally injured in the workplace.  Of those 5,700 people, the private construction sector declined by 20 % from the updated 2007 total, but this was still almost 1,000 lives.  That number indicates that roughly 17% of all workplace fatalities in the US occur on construction sites that are not government operated projects.

When searching for a commercial concrete contractor to assist in site development, concrete placement, or concrete finishing services, it is paramount to review the safety records of any company that you may consider for your project.  Qualified companies should have a safety director and safety officers who supervise, administer, and facilitate all safety-related programs and services that impact job sites.

A safety plan should be part of any construction operation.  This plan will likely include both initial and on-going safety training including: driver's safety, new hire orientation, daily pre-work meetings, and accident reporting procedures.  Experts agree that ongoing safety meetings are critical in minimizing the number of injuries that occur on commercial job sites.

Companies that operate with safety in mind often make their safety records very public to promote that their efforts keep projects moving smoothly in a non-reckless manner.  Insurance costs play an important role in the safety aspect of construction companies.  Insurance companies utilize a complex formula to evaluate risk potential for every company which determines the company's insurance premiums; the higher the risk the higher the premium.  When searching for a concrete construction service provider, a high emphasis placed on safety will likely allow your project to stay on budget and on time.
