CONSTRUCTION SAFETY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Over the past 15 years Safety Solution Consultants, Inc. (SSCI) has offered its clients construction safety management services by involving every member of your team or organization into an accident prevention process.

SSCI’s services assist your team to develop their skills for managing safety at the job site versus taking over your safety process. Safety can only be effective if it is an integral part of your process and everyone is involved and buys in.

"We have been extremely pleased with SSCI's performance in coordinating the safety and logistic requirements of our projects, and more importantly, providing a safe work environment for our staff and that of our subcontractors."
Charles S. Vaciliou, VP of Strategic Development, Erland Construction

• Safety has to be simple to be effective or it will not be used.

• Safety Education is integral and key to any safety endeavor.

• Your system should be able to be summarized into action items that are simple and performed regularly.

• Safety cannot be an afterthought. It must be incorporated into your current processes to work.

• Education has to be on-going and incorporate means and methods to foster employee involvement interest and buy in. That is why we created the Home Meets Work ® system that helps to build buy in.
