Our Safe Production culture embeds safety into each phase of work, from early planning and preconstruction through execution and closeout, ensuring that every project is delivered in a controlled, predictable, and incident-free environment.
Safety is not a shifting priority. It is a constant that defines how we operate. Through strong leadership, clear accountability, and continuous training, we create jobsites where people feel protected, respected, and empowered to perform at their best.
Our safety program is built on planning, training, accountability, and continuous improvement. Site-specific safety plans are developed at the start of each project and evolve as conditions change. Daily safety huddles, toolbox talks, and Safe Task Analyses keep safety top of mind and ensure teams understand the risks associated with each task before work begins.
We combine Lean principles with real-time performance tracking and corporate safety audits to proactively identify trends, address risks, and reinforce consistent execution across every jobsite.
A knowledgeable workforce is essential to maintaining a safe jobsite. Every worker completes a job-specific safety orientation prior to starting work, and project leadership maintains advanced OSHA training. CPR and emergency response training further strengthen preparedness, ensuring our teams are equipped to respond quickly and effectively should the need arise.
This commitment to education fosters a culture of awareness, accountability, and shared responsibility.
Independence Construction creates organized, well-controlled jobsites through detailed logistics planning. Clearly defined pedestrian routes, traffic flow plans, signage, and delivery coordination minimize exposure to hazards and maintain safe separation between workers, equipment, and the public.
Safety extends beyond physical risk. All workers participate in a mandatory pre-job orientation reinforcing our zero-tolerance policy for harassment, ensuring every jobsite remains safe, professional, and respectful.
High-risk activities such as demolition, work at elevation, and operation of motorized equipment are managed through strict protocols, training, and continuous monitoring. Fall protection, equipment safety standards, and environmental controls are enforced on every project to minimize exposure and eliminate preventable incidents.
Each day begins by combining stretch and flex exercises to prepare crews physically and mentally for the day’s work with daily task planning and hazard identification. This proactive approach reinforces physical readiness, situational awareness, and crew engagement.
Safety performance is evaluated continuously through regular field audits, leadership reviews, and documentation in Procore. Findings are shared across project teams to reinforce accountability, address trends, and drive continuous improvement.
Our Commitment is simple: everyone goes home safe – every day. Through leadership, planning, training, and accountability, Independence Construction delivers projects where safety and performance go hand in hand.
Our team is ready to show you how being built different helps us build better for you.
