    SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE CONSULTANTS IN COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

    There is a major need for proper safety protocol on any type of jobsite, and the construction industry is certainly no exception. With such physical work, there is no room for mistakes — especially if your workers aren’t appropriately protected from the risks included in their laborious tasks. Construction work has a higher fatality rate than the average American occupation, which is why OSHA regulations can be justifiably stricter for the construction industry.

    At OECS, we perform audits, make sure your job site is compliant, train employees and can offer a wide variety of other services custom to your situation. Hiring a safety consulting company will pay for itself through fewer workers comp claims and more days on the job.

    Build a Better Safety Plan

    If you’re in charge of safety at a construction site, there are many factors you need to take into consideration that you wouldn’t find at other types of businesses. Unfortunately, the fatality rate in commercial construction is higher than in other industries. It’s important to take a proactive approach to your safety goals in order to stop costly mishaps before they occur.

    Some of the most common risks at a commercial construction site include:

    • Falls
    • Collapsing building components
    • Repetitive motion injuries
    • Electric shocks
    • Burns
    • Hearing damage
    • Heat strokes

    Dave Orman National Electrical Contractors Association Duluth, Minnesota

    As the Founder of Interscapes, I have come to appreciate just how important a strong safety culture is for our team. One safety incident can change things for a small company like ours. It’s because of this we’ve worked hard to be in compliance and go that extra mile to protect our employees and our company. Finding a partner like OECS has been a huge-value add for us. The quality of training, audits, OSHA support – and just being there when we have questions – has made all the difference. The partnership with OECS has helped strengthen our safety culture and keep us incident-free. The value we get for the money is second to none.
