Did you know that CMI is continuing to expand our services to the construction industry? Due to an explosive growth in construction and the challenges of recruiting qualified construction Health & Safety (H&S) professionals, CMI has responded by offering full- and part-time, short- and long-term construction safety staffing at our customer project sites. Our construction safety staffing solutions enable consistent project safety coverage, while acting as an extension of our customers’ internal safety programs and culture.
It is CMI’s business to train and develop the industry’s top H&S professionals. This has allowed us to grow a team of highly qualified and dynamic construction safety professionals who are able to fill our customers’ staffing needs on a short- or long-term basis to make an immediate positive impact. Our onsite safety team consists of highly experienced and credentialed individuals, including Certified Safety Professionals (CSP), Graduate Safety Practitioners (GSP), Construction Health & Safety Technicians (CHST), and OSHA Outreach Trainers for Construction. These individuals are supported by the industry’s leading professionals who can also support every aspect of environmental, health and safety (EHS) management for your organization.
The benefits of CMI’s construction safety staffing program include:
- Part-time staffing arrangements can reduce labor costs by up to 50%, as compared to hiring full-time internal staff
- Flexibility and scalability as safety staffing needs change throughout the duration of the project
- Customized programs to meet project and business needs and budgets
- Risk reduction for owners, general contractors and subcontractors through risk identification, OSHA regulatory compliance, and incident prevention
- Increased efficiencies, communication, and access to industry best practice safety processes
- Seamless integration of safety within our customers’ organizations
- Identification of safety trends and timely responses to concerns and hazards
- Meeting customer and owner requirements for experienced and credentialed safety professionals
- Onsite professional supported by CMI’s experienced leadership team who ensures our customer needs are consistently being met
We understand each project is unique and construction staffing solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Examples of the many services that can be integrated into staffing programs include:
- Safety pre-planning and participation in pre-construction meetings
- Development, review, and approval of safety documentation such as Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), Crane Lift Plans, Health &Safety Plans (HASPs), and Emergency Action Plans
- Implementation of documented safety audit programs with corrective action follow up
- Innovative training solutions for employees and contractors, both in-person and online
- New hire onboarding and safety orientation programs
- Accident and incident investigation processes and corrective action plans
- Safety meetings, briefings, toolbox talks, and stand downs
- Safe work permit programs and auditing
- Maintenance of administrative paperwork and recordkeeping
- Liaison between the field and corporate office
- Management of effective and OSHA compliant safety incentive programs
Our goal is help you succeed. Regardless of the project type or scope, CMI’s Construction Safety Staffing Team and full service EHS Team will work with you to find the right solution that will keep your construction project safe, on schedule and on budget.
