Safety

Built on Safety.
We do the work.

Pumford Construction is a continuous leader in employee health and safety in the construction industry. Our employees are our most valuable asset and protecting them is at the forefront of every single project we complete, no matter the size. We offer a robust health and safety program, including in-house employee training, collaborative safety solutions, and a dedicated team of safety professionals to help us maintain a high level of safety on our jobsites. Our safety culture is cemented in our company from executive management to our crews in the field. Employee involvement in hazard recognition and mitigation helps keep employees engaged at all levels and creates an open environment for safety. All of these successful safety programs and initiatives have helped us foster an award-winning safety culture recognized by peers in the construction and national safety industries.

“Ask Us” Why We Work Safe

The Pumford Construction “Why We Work Safe” program launched over 10 years ago and is an important part of our company safety culture. Every employee is asked why they work safe and submits a photo that represents their motivation to go home safely each day. Employees are then given a card with their submitted photo to bring with them to jobsites as a reminder of what is important to them. Family, friends, and hobbies flood our “Ask Us” poster showing what makes safety important and personal for all. We encourage our clients and coworkers to “Ask Us Why We Work Safe” so we can share our motivation for working safe every day.

Competent Safety Representative (CSR)

The Competent Safety Representative (CSR) program is another great asset to our safety culture at Pumford Construction. Employees who are knowledgeable in their trade and have a positive impact on our safety culture are selected to be a part of the CSR program. CSR’s are dedicated to jobsites where they are responsible for identifying existing and potential hazardous conditions. The CSR serves as an extra set of safety-conscious eyes on site and is empowered by Pumford Construction to take prompt action to eliminate these hazards.
