Safety Pays!




At The Conco Companies, we understand the importance of safety, and as such, it is the top priority of our company from the top down.  Our dedication to safety involves ensuring that our employees, customers, fellow contractors and the general public are part of the industry’s safest and most efficient construction and trucking services.  

To help achieve this goal, our staff consists of a team of safety and risk management specialists that work to eliminate and mitigate all construction and “over the road” related risks.  Their focus is on employee safety, claims management and regulatory compliance. Under their guidance, the entire Conco team works together to mitigate, or to all together eliminate unsafe working conditions, work related accidents and subsequent injuries.

Conco also works together with our other jobsite contractors to ensure a project is following the highest standard of safety.  For any project we are involved with, our team creates a Site Specific Safety Plan and Pre-Task Planning, along with our standard Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP)/ Accident Prevention Program (APP).  In addition our entire workforce is routinely trained in a range of safety topics including Fall Protection, First-Aid/ CPR, Forklift Operation, OSHA 30, Material Rigging, Traffic Control and more. 

Conco’s skilled, concrete boom pump operators are also all ACPA certified as well as routinely participate in our own safety training programs.  Furthermore, our Reliable Trucking drivers all possess a commercial driver's license (CDL) as well as receive extensive in-house training on accident prevention, driver courtesy and regulatory compliance.   

Other safety programs include: Accident Prevention Program - State of Washington Operations; Injury and Illness Prevention Program - State of California/Nevada Operations; Fleet Safety Program; Reliable Trucking Fleet Safety Program; and our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program.  See our website to learn more about Conco’s commitment to safety. 

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.

Safety – Conco’s Number One Priority





At The Conco Companies, we are committed to providing all of our employees with a hazard-free, safe working environment.  To meet these goals, our safety program focuses on hazard elimination.  Our team of safety and risk professionals works closely with managers as well as the entire workforce to eliminate and mitigate all construction and “over the road” related risks. Employee safety along with claims management and regulatory compliance are important components of the program.

One way we help to ensure a safe jobsite is to forge partnerships with our contractors so we can work together to maintain the highest standard of safety on all project sites.  Any project Conco is involved with is provided with a Site Specific Safety Plan and Pre-Task Planning, and our standard Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP)/ Accident Prevention Program (APP).  
We train both managers and crews on a variety of safety related  topics such as: First-Aid/ CPR, Fall Protection, Forklift Operation, OSHA 30, Material Rigging, Traffic Control, etc.  In addition we have specially trained safety professionals conduct frequent worksite safety inspections a well as provide direction and regular training to employees.

Conco’s pumping division is a prime example of our commitment to safety.   Having pumped millions of yards of concrete over the past 50 years, we have developed and implemented some of the most rigorous pumping safety procedures in the entire concrete industry.  All Conco pump operators are required to attain American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) certification and go through company specific safety training.  In addition we have certified boom pump inspectors annually inspect our boom pumps and Telebelts to ensure their safety.  Our fleet of equipment is one of most up-to-date and CARB compliant fleets on the west coast.

At Conco our goal is to provide customers, employees and the general public with the safest and most efficient construction and trucking services in the industry today.  We firmly believe that when safety is the first consideration before the work begins, everyone wins!

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.
