Celebrating Three Years Accident Free
January 3, 2012
Performing a job free of incident is not without its challenges.
Contractors are continually faced with difficult tasks and
work distractions, however with a strong commitment to safety,
accident free job sites can be achieved. For general contractors,
safety must be the single most important element of our day.
It’s something that takes the cooperation, dedication,
and participation of each employee in order to create a team
culture that supports the safety of all workers.
While simple
in concept, paying attention to details and keeping equipment
and work areas clean and organized can make a significant difference
in on the job safety. It takes time out of every day to be
safe, but the investment in a strong safety culture yields
a tremendous return when a job is completed without an injury.
Today, construction remains a high risk industry; and as a
whole, the construction industry is a tough one for safety.
According to OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Act),
despite overall improvements, annual accident statistics have
shown that the construction industry remains one of most hazardous
to workers; and, each year, more than 1,000 construction workers
lose their lives and 400,000 more experience injuries or illnesses
on the job.
As general contractors we are proud to announce
we have been accident free for the past three years – with
zero reportable incidents in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Safety is
a routine, something practiced on a daily basis that should
be second nature to all of us. No matter how large or how small
a project, each project should have a set protocol that focuses
on safety, team work, and quality.
Keeping safety as a “top
of mind” value is vital in this industry.
We all need to look out for each other by keeping our work
environments safe for ourselves and those around us.

his leadership.

prizes were raffled off including the grand prize—a sawzall.
We are thankful to City of Hope for trusting us with their

 LCS was recently awarded the Safety Training and Evaluation
