Safety Culture - Arch-Con Corporation

Everything We Do Starts With Safety

Safety is a part of Arch-Con’s DNA. It is a part of who we are, a part of our identity. Construction is hard and if safety standards are not met in real time, it can be very dangerous. That is why Arch-Con has a proactive approach to ensuring that everyone every day goes home safely. Our safety committee meets weekly to evaluate potential threats recognized during our weekly safety inspections.

Through this commitment, we have built an award-winning, nationally recognized safety program with:

A 0.72 EMR safety rating
Procedures in place to provide the best work environment such as
- Work-plan process
- Weekly toolbox talks
- Daily implementation of THAs (Task Hazard Analysis)
C3 accreditation which promotes safety and requires all superintendents to be highly trained with a minimum of 30-hour OSHA courses and specialized training in different forms of construction safety
