Construction Worker Safety and The Conco Companies

In the United States alone, there can be over 250,000 construction sites at any given time which employ over 6.5 million workers. Out of the over 150,000 worker injuries that occur each year, the most common accident on a construction site is a fall. In addition to falls, other common causes of injury include shocks, scaffold collapses, misuse of equipment, and misuse of safety regulations.  

At The Conco Companies, we recognize that construction work ranks among the highest hazard industries in the world. These skilled men and women take on heights, machinery and equipment, dust and contaminants, as well as heavy lifting. At Conco, safety has always been our number one priority. We strive each and every day to continue to provide a safe working environment for all of our employees, partners and the general public. 

Conco is proud to have developed some of the most rigorous pumping safety standards and procedures within the entire concrete industry.  For over 50 years, Conco has pumped millions of yards of concrete and, in 2013, our pumping division completed the year without a single accident. Each year, we strive to add to that record.  

In addition to our pumping division, each and every crew member and manager is expertly trained on Fall Protection, OSHA 30, First-Aid, Forklift Operation, CPR, Traffic Control, and other required safety instruction.  In the Conco fashion, we like to take things one step further; we’ve placed safety oversight professionals at all business locations for an additional layer of vigilance. 

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western United States and to bring expertise, experience and quality to each project.  We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, parking structures, educational, and other construction development. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.
