Safety

MORE THAN JUST A WORD

It’s a way of life at Berghammer and on our job sites.

Our Commitment to Safety

Safety is Number One

The safety of Berghammer employees, clients and the public is our highest priority. Our commitment is to protect every person on our job sites and to make sure everyone goes home safely at the end of the day.

Safety in Action

Safe job sites are the result of careful planning, attention to detail, and adherence to a company-wide safety policy that is designed to protect everyone on or near a job site.

Our three-part approach to safety includes:

Written Policies and Regular Training

All Berghammer employees are trained in — and must follow — standard safety rules, instructions and procedures. We enforce safety guidelines that go beyond OSHA standards and maintain a written policy to guide all our safety-related operations.

Project-Specific Plans

The Field Superintendent prepares a safety plan specific to every project and is the on-site manager responsible for assuring compliance by everyone working on a project.

Independent Audits

Berghammer contracts with the Associated General Contractors of Greater Milwaukee (AGC) and other third-party providers for routine, independent site safety audits. A safe job site results in less disruption of the schedule, better productivity and worker well-being, lower costs, and better project outcomes.
