The Construction Safety Procedure provides methods for the evaluation and maintenance of a safe working construction worksite and to outline procedures for handling construction injuries and subsequent reporting requirements.

The personal safety and health of each construction employee is of primary importance. The policy should maintain a safe and healthy working environment at all times, and to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations as well as state and local safety requirements of the construction industry.

The prevention of occupationally induced injuries and illnesses is a construction management priority and will be given precedence in all operational matters. The construction company should not knowingly allow unsafe conditions to exist, or permit construction employees to participate in unsafe activities.

The Construction Safety Procedure applies to all employees and projects of the company. (34 pages, 10,228 words)
