The Construction Industry is a hazardous business. Since the founding of Humble Construction, emphasis on safety has been a tradition and an integral part of our service to the purchaser of construction services. In conjunction with this philosophy and the legalistic and insurance climate prevalent within the construction business today, safety standards must keep up with the risk involved. Thus, Humble Construction is dedicated to conducting construction operations in the safest and most efficient manner possible.
Humble Constuction is very concerned and committed to the safety and welfare of the people involved in our projects. As set forth in all federal, state and local standards, we are committed to abide by all regulations as they pertain to the construction industry. Humble Construction has thoroughly reviewed and is in full compliance with OSHA requirements for the construction industry.
OSHA Compliance: Humble Construction has developed a comprehensive construction safety program. OSHA inspectors have reviewed safety practices by Humble Construction on many occasions. In many areas of construction, our safety procedures are more stringent than the associated OSHA standards. In fact, one of our pieces of equipment, the Sky-Web Fall Protection and Insulation Support System prompted OSHA to say that, when properly installed, Sky-Web would "eliminate the fall hazard at the leading edge of the roof on a partially completed metal building roof system."
Subcontractor Compliance: Humble Construction evaluates the selection of its subcontractors on the basis of safety, quality of work, schedules and cost. This includes a review of the subcontractor's safety program and past performance with regard to safety. Compliance with the Humble Construction safety program is mandatory for all subcontractors.
As Humble Construction is concerned with safety performance and reputation of the subcontractors that are selected, purchasers of construction services should also be concerned with the safety attributes of the contractors considered.
Aside from the humanistic considerations of providing a safe work environment, benefits derived from an accident-free workplace would include:
Earlier Completion Accidents adversley affect productivity and morale.
Higher Quality Hazard free workplace instills pride and quality.
Public Relations No negative publicity due to job site accidents.
Legal Considerations Legal entanglements kept to a minimum.
