Safety
Our Commitment to Safety
At DeBerry Construction, safety is not simply a requirement.
It is a responsibility.
Every person working on or visiting a construction project deserves an environment where hazards are identified, expectations are communicated, and safe work practices are reinforced.
Our commitment to safety extends to:
- Employees
- Subcontractors
- Trade partners
- Clients
- General contractors
- Visitors
- Communities
Safety Begins With Preparation
A safe project begins before work starts. Our approach emphasizes appropriate planning, awareness, training, communication, and accountability.
Training & Awareness
Team members are expected to understand the hazards associated with their work and follow applicable safety procedures. Ongoing awareness and training help reinforce safe work practices.
Regulatory Compliance
DeBerry Construction is committed to complying with applicable federal, state, local, and project-specific safety requirements.
Personal Protective Equipment
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used based on job-site conditions, project requirements, and applicable safety standards.
Hazard Communication
We encourage team members and subcontractors to identify and communicate potential hazards. If something does not look safe, it should be addressed.
Continuous Improvement
Safety performance requires continuous attention. We evaluate our practices and look for opportunities to improve processes, awareness, training, and job-site performance.
Building Responsibly
DeBerry Construction is committed to incorporating environmentally responsible practices into construction and business operations whenever practical.
Our approach includes efforts to:
- Minimize construction waste
- Recycle materials when practical
- Reduce unnecessary material usage
- Support environmentally responsible construction methods
- Consider energy efficiency
- Support green-building requirements
- Train project management personnel on environmentally responsible practices
- Support LEED-related project requirements where applicable
Our own workplace has incorporated energy-saving measures such as:
- Solar panels
- Skylights
- Energy-conscious improvements
We believe construction companies have an opportunity to build responsibly while supporting stronger communities.
Safety Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Safety cannot belong to one person or one department.
Everyone on the project has a role.
At DeBerry Construction:
Safety is part of how we work.
