At NSC, safety excellence is a corporate value and a commitment we practice on all projects. We employ only the most qualified safety directors on our construction projects, all of whom report directly to CEO Bob Dunn. Bob is personally involved in reviewing daily safety reports for each job, as well as reviewing reports of all injury and near-miss cases.

Our safety program ensures an committed corporate safety focus on every project. This commitment is evidenced in the fact that our OSHA Recordable Incident Rate is approximately 5 times lower than the average contractor in the steel erection business.

To maintain the safest jobsite for our employees, we review the client’s safety rules and procedures and evaluate them against our corporate standards to ensure all site-specific work conditions and hazards are addressed in our site-specific safety plan. All site-specific rules, procedures and hazards are communicated to all employees during site orientation, daily toolbox safety meetings, and weekly foreman and project-wide mass safety meetings.

Another important component demonstrating our commitment to excellence in safety is our Experience Modification Rate (EMR). Through our laser-like focus on continuous safety improvement, we have been able to maintain an extremely competitive EMR. A low EMR allows us to have a lower cost for Workers Compensation insurance and thus a more competitive price to our clients. In the event of an Owners Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP), our EMR demonstrates that we will likely have a lower overall cost to the Owner with our presence on the site.

NSC has maintained an outstanding safety track record through a long-term alliance with premier safety consulting firm, FDR Safety.

With approximately 25 years of OSHA experience, FDR Safety President Jim Stanley rose to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor in the United States government’s Department of Labor.

Mr. Stanley regularly consults with NSC on both our overall corporate safety program as well as on all of our projects administering advice, counsel and training for all of our managers and supervisors.

In addition, FDR Safety has been retained to conduct regular independent site audits of all our projects. Mr. Stanley has counseled the company’s senior managers, presented at company meetings and submitted safety material for company publications.
