One of the most dangerous things a foreman can say is "Accidents happen." When they say this, they mean that they are not responsible when their work goes terribly wrong. OSHA, numerous safety organizations around the country, and Safety Consulting & Compliance Corp., however, work tirelessly to prove that accidents do not have to happen. With planning and vigilance, the work can be completed without costly delays, and without catastrophic hospitalizations.

The foundation of a safe construction site is in its planning. Just as erection cannot begin without expert schematics and specifications, work cannot proceed safely unless everyone knows how. Straightforward policies encourage consistency and integrity, and identifying hazards and the necessary responses keeps people from blundering into danger. Learn more .

Running a tight crew means having a few key field people wearing a lot of hats, whether they are foremen, superintendents, crew leads or project managers. They are responsible for getting people on task, for making sure the work is completed according to specifications, and for producing results. They are often also saddled with all safety-related duties, and too many do not know the difference between security and safety. Making the situation even more hazardous, they will ignore safety issues because they mistakenly believe that working safely slows their crews down so that they cannot make their deadlines. They are wrong, at times, tragically, dead wrong.

Working safely means employees working with precision. Doing the right job, the way you intend for them to do it.
