Confined Space

Due to the nature of our work, our employees are often required to work in tight spaces to complete a job. Confined spaces are areas such as underground vaults, attics, manholes, or any other area where mobility is limited. We require all of our employees who will be working in confined spaces to complete the OSHA confined Space Entry Training.

Job-Site Audits

The first step to job site safety is to ensure that all of our employees are properly trained. To maintain the safety standards learned in training we perform job-site safety and health audits. We perform inspections on lifts, ladders, PPE, and any other potential safety or health risk specific to a job. These inspection are completed frequently and records are kept to ensure the highest level of safety and compliance. In Addition, our Safety Coordinator also inspects our job sites on a regular basis to ensure all safety policies are being followed.
