Safety is huge with us. From day one on the site, we preach and train for workplace safety. It’s mandatory. But many of our projects are also food-related, with unique demands and regulations for food safety.

We practice zero tolerance for most safety hazards. From random drug testing (zero tolerance) to weekly toolbox talks, OSHA training to third party inspections, it’s a daily routine on all our projects. A comprehensive safety plan incorporates specific site rules and regulations. We maintain rigorous standards for hazard communications. We qualify all subcontractors for safety.

We’re experts on the challenges of MSDS and PSM issues, so you can rest assured every base is covered on your project.

Our experience modifier number is just one indicator of how well we practice what we preach about safety. That and the fact we have had no lost time accidents in 5 years.

Of course, no one’s perfect. But striving for it is the safest thing we can do.

USDA (FSIS), FDA, EPA, OSHA. We’re quite familiar with the regulations and guidelines these agencies send out.

From day one training forward, we know the value of successfully meeting these standards as your food and beverage building contractor. We have zero tolerance for anything less.

Our approach to clean design allows us to have no impact on daily operations. So you can go about your business while we build for you.
