Building safely, every step of the way. Together.

We often work collaboratively with other contractors, engineering firms, designers and architects, and dozens of other professionals and companies on our project sites. It keeps things interesting, and we love seeing what everyone else brings to the table, but it also means that we’re not just responsible for our own safety on a project site—we’re accountable to hundreds of other people and their families too. It’s one of the reasons we’re so dedicated to safety at Datoff Construction.

First Aid

Every employee on our site has first aid training. It’s important to us that anyone on our sites can respond immediately to stabilize and support injured people in the event of an accident until medical professionals arrive. Especially since our projects occasionally take us to remote locations.

Regular Check-ins

Our management teams perform random site inspections regularly to make sure our team is toeing the line and working in a way that keeps themselves and the people around them safe.

Orientation

All new employees receive a comprehensive orientation including a thorough lesson on our safety policies and procedures. And yes, there is a test.

Hazard Analysis

One of the services we offer as part of our construction management and design-build contracts is a full hazard analysis report. Our project managers and superintendents will go over every inch of your project to account for any potential safety and quality risks and make emergency and back-up plans to account for them.

Emergency Plans & Procedures

We’ll work with you to create functional, practical emergency procedures specific to your project site, materials, environmental factors, geography and logistics, and any seasonal considerations that might come up over the course of construction. We’ll employ Emergency Medical Technicians, Emergency Responders, and CSOs/ NCSOs as necessary.

Subcontractors

We employ a unified safety program, which means any subcontractors working for us are equally subject to our standards. That means we take on training and orientating all new subcontractors to our policies and procedures, and they are also part of our safety meetings and inspections.

Safety Meetings

We hold weekly, mandatory Toolbox safety meetings, where we update employees on all potential safety hazards. Holding these meetings regularly ensures that every member of the team is on the same page, and that even more remote concerns aren’t forgotten over time. If conditions change and new hazards appear, we hold extra meetings.

Investigations

Our rigorous safety standards and practices do their job well, and we have an outstanding safety record. However, in the rare case of accidents, we perform a thorough investigation of the incident, make a report, and communicate what we’ve learned to our employees. Those reports stay on file, and we’ll review them regularly to update our safety standards and when we’re working on hazard analyses.
