At Wharton-Smith, our first priority is making sure our construction teams return home safely to their families every night — but we don’t stop there. When working on occupied sites, our logistics planning includes measures to ensure the safety of school children, visitors, and clients. Safety is a companywide effort — It’s everyone’s job!
Our comprehensive safety program includes written programs for Hazard Communication, General Safety, and Drug and Alcohol Abuse. Our company also has an extensive project safety manual that contains 33 sections pertaining to all areas of jobsite safety.
Our Safety Department has a goal of “Zero Accidents,” and our safety record speaks for itself. We have received numerous safety awards since our incorporation, including national awards for Safety Excellence in Construction, Best Overall Safety Program, and annual Platinum and Gold Awards from the prestigious Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP).
Our comprehensive safety program includes written safety standards that meet or exceed OSHA requirements. We provide classroom and skills training for all of our field personnel and actively pursue and encourage any specialized training that would be of benefit to ensuring a safe environment on all jobsites. We also offer an in-house monthly incentive plan for projects with the best safety record and performance.
