While The Conco Companies have successfully
accomplished many significant feats during our decades in the industry, we have
always put the safety of our workforce, our fellow trade partners, general
contractors and the public first. We are
proud of our safety record and it is one of the first things we consider when undertaking
a new project.
By partnering with our contractors, we all work together to maintain the highest standard of safety on all of our projects. One of the first things our team does is to create a Site Specific Safety Plan as well as a Pre-Task Plan. We also implement our standard Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP)/ Accident Prevention Program (APP).
In order to maintain our excellent
safety record, the entire Conco workforce – managers and crews alike – are
trained in a variety of safety related topics including new industry rules and
regulations. Safety programs include Fall
Protection, First-Aid/ CPR, Forklift Operation, OSHA 30, Material Rigging,
Traffic Control, and more. Furthermore, Conco’s team of safety professionals not only provides our
workforce with up-to-date training, but goes out to our jobsites to carry out
frequent safety inspections.
One example of our safety protocols
includes having all of our concrete pump operators ACPA certified to ensure
they operate their equipment safely for not only their protection but for those
working around the pump. We also provide
each jobsite with specific safety instruction for our other trade partners who routinely
work around our pumps as it is important that they are aware of basic concrete
pump safety procedures.
One of these groups is ready mix
drivers who need to be aware and follow basic guidelines when discharging
concrete into a pump in order to protect everyone on the jobsite. To help mitigate the dangers, we have put
together a flyer that cites the safety procedures for drivers to follow upon
arriving at the jobsite and when they back up to the pump.
At The Conco Companies, we are one of
the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offer a wide range of
quality services and products. Our
experience includes providing services for commercial, educational, parking and
other construction development as well as public works projects. We serve California, Washington State,
Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.
