Construction & Safety Management Services

Project Construction Managers, Safety Managers, Health & Safety Officers, Safety Planners, and Safety & Gas Technicians are certified safety professionals with years of practical field experience.  These professionals are carefully screened and vetted through our hiring process and trained in-house to exceed industry standards.  We can manage, plan, oversee, build, implement, and audit your project activities and safety.

Safety Technicians & Attendants

Safety Technicians and Attendants are specifically trained in how to properly execute and manage their specific safety related assignments at the job site, such as area & environmental monitoring, gas testing, hot work or confined space permits, bottle watch, fire watch, and confined space entry so the contractor and owner can delegate those responsibilities with confidence.  After the client or contractor completes the work permit, certified Safety Attendants review the permit for the purpose of enforcing the PPE requirements selected by the owners and contractor to ensure that all personnel comply.  Certified Safety Attendants complete their own JSA forms for their job tasks and are trained to identify, mitigate, or report potential safety hazards related to the job tasks for which they are assigned and the client has chosen.
