IMPORTANCE TO SAFETY

The Environmental Health and Safety Division of A.P. Construction is an integral part of the company’s overall risk management. The division is responsible for the oversight and implementation of the company’s health and safety programs. A.P. Construction’s 70 year history has demonstrated that the more aligned all involved parties are with our safety program, including employees, subcontractors and partners, the safer the project outcome.

A safe project = A successful project.

At A.P. Construction, we evaluate our operations continuously to make our organization one of the safest in the industry. A.P.’s safety-first attitude is ingrained in each project – from the bid process to punch list. Our safety culture attempts to remove all worksite safety occurrences with safety engagements starting at the beginning of each project. We perform compulsory safety inspections on every job site on a daily basis and we hold a weekly Toolbox Talk Series on each project, and perform job-specific OSHA training – all of which has helped create an effective, reliable and safe environment within the company.

At A.P. Construction we understand:

• Injuries are preventable;
• Always perform work safely;
• Working safely is a condition of employment;
• If it’s not safe, stop the project;
• Safety is the key to a successful job.

We strive to improve our safety agenda, continuously creating and enforcing programs that reduce risk whether through a best practice, updated guidelines, or a new policy. These measures result in a successful and long track record of bridging the company’s safety standards with the reality of on-site project operations, further supporting and driving the message that safety is our number one priority – to all levels of field and project staff.

A.P. is dedicated to Safely Building Excellence.
