Before we work together, our team checks a few important areas to make sure your company fits our project guidelines. First, we look closely at your past safety numbers, including your EMR, TRIR, and DART rates, as well as any accidents or past OSHA issues. Next, we read through your written safety manual to see how your crews handle things like digging trenches, fall safety, and dangerous materials. We also check your professional credentials, making sure you have active North Carolina licenses, landscape or pesticide permits, properly trained operators, and reliable field equipment. Finally, your company must show proof of good insurance and bondingcovering auto, general liability, workers' comp, umbrella, and pollution with our company named as an Additional Insured and a clean environmental record regarding stormwater and erosion control rules.

What We Expect on Our Job Sites

Before your crews start work, you need to attend our site safety orientation and follow all project requirements, site safety rules, and OSHA standards. If requested, please submit your site-specific safety plans or job hazard analyses for your scope. It’s also important to hold regular toolbox talks, keep accurate attendance records, and provide all necessary PPE for your workers. You must supply properly maintained equipment and trained, qualified personnel, including a designated competent person for any excavation and trenching work. Always confirm utility locates before digging, follow our utility strike response procedures, and stay compliant with our project schedule and drug and alcohol policy. Finally, please ensure our Safety & Health Department has access to your safety documentation whenever they request it.
