MacDougall Pierce Construction is committed to providing a safe
working environment for everyone involved in the construction process.

There are 5 reasons why we have a safety program...
      1) Employee safety and health.  Every individual has the right to
           work in a safe working environment
      2) Reduce Operating Costs - 
            a) Increased Productivity - 
                  a structured safety program gives workers both confidence
                  in their own actions as well as confidence within their work
                  environment. This results in greater productivity.
            b) Workers Compensation Costs - 
                  Lower worker comp costs mean lower overhead costs.
            c) Litigation - 
                  A structured safety program minimizes the chance fo
                  liability lawsuits.
            d) OSHA Regulations/Fines - 
                  Non-compliance will result in costly fines and penalties.
      3) Opportunity for OSHA Focused Inspection-
            If you have a structured safety program, you are more apt to 
            qualify for the less - stringent, "Focused Inspection", in lieu of 
            the highly detailed OSHA wall-to-wall inspection.
      4) Increased Contract Opportunities - 
            More and more, owners are requiring contractors
            to substantiate the existence of a structured 
            safety program. 
      5) Of the thousands of industries, construction 
            ranks 3rd in the most number of job related 
            accidents.

Each MacDougall and Pierce field super is trained in job site safety
procedures, lockout/tagout, hazard communication, specific safety
policies on first aid, housekeeping, sanitation, etc., occupational injury,
MSDS, and pre/post drug & alcohol program implementation.

Once a month, we have an in-house safety meeting to review policies/
procedures of the safety manual. Each foreman is sent to an OSHA
10 hour safety training course and each superintendent is sent to an
OSHA 30 hour course.

We periodically have in-house safety inspections to keep all personel
continually  thinking safety. This ensures program consistency,
quality and maturity.
