Safety
Safety is our number one priority on every project we are involved in.
Commitment to Safety
At Elmira Structures, we take precautions to reach our goal of zero injuries. This begins before the project is initialized. The Project Manager will review the drawings and site conditions to determine what areas could possibly be dangerous. Once the job is underway we perform “housekeeping” on a daily basis to prevent accidents. The project superintendent will conduct daily Toolbox Safety topics with the crew that pertains to tasks that we are currently working on. The upper management will also make surprise visits to the jobsite to confirm everyone is being safe. We team up with Lovell Safety Management Co. who inspects the job site and makes recommendations towards potential safety hazards.
