For contractors, project managers and owners, safety on the job site is often the most important issue.

 

On the Audubon Bridge project, it has been said time and time again. Safety is the #1 issue…PERIOD.

 

Over the duration of the project, safety is discussed at most meetings, partnering sessions and is tracked and documented by a safety manager and his staff.

 

Crews are briefed each week, new employees to the job site must attend a mandatory safety orientation and all workers must adhere to the strictest safety guidelines to maintain access to the job.

 

Today, the Design-Build team—Audubon Bridge Constructors—has decided to go a step further, shut the entire project down and focus on safety education.

 

Various booths are setup at the main project office for crews to review the latest safety guidelines, equipment and practices. Safety personnel are expected to address employees and reiterate that safety on the job site is paramount.

 

Shutdowns for safety education are expected periodically over the duration of the project.

 

I applaud the Design-Build team’s efforts to ensure their job site is secure and safe for all employees and site visitors.
