Safety

For the more than sixty years that Corrado American has been leading the field in the site development industry in completing projects on time and on budget, our management and employees have recognized that the very best job is the safest job. Always our primary focus has been on keeping our job sites safe—for our own employees and for those of our fellow contractors, subcontractors and owners. In recognition of the importance of this mission we have developed a program which puts safety first, a program built on education, innovation and dedication.

Safety  

Education begins the day an employee joins our workforce. We provide safety orientation on day one to each of our employees. Education is continued and expanded throughout the employee’s career in our Toolbox Talks. These discussions are lead by field supervisors and are conducted on a very regular basis. Topics include those of general interest as well as job specific procedures. Included in the safety education process are OSHA, USDOT, FHA, and state and local compliance and regulations appropriate for the location and nature of each project.

Our desire to exceed safety standards in every instance has led us to develop innovative safety programs. We have a well developed incident investigation procedure. Our documentation focuses not only on the cause of a problem, but more importantly on learning as much as possible

from any occurrence to prevent similar events in the future. Each of our job sites is inspected daily for safety by a full time professional safety specialist.

Finally, our safety success is the product of a dedicated workforce at both management and staff levels. We have a company-wide Safety Incentive Program which is designed to insure accountability of field supervisors and to reward positive performance. We have learned to respect safety as an integral part of our mission and we work always with respect for our motto, “Safety first—for your tomorrow”.
