To ensure the safety of every on-site team member, our project teams create tailored, site-specific safety and health plans (SSSHP) that further drive our culture of accountability and support the mentality that everyone is responsible for safety on their project and in their work assignments.

In the interest of learning from one another and sharing best practices, employees at every level are empowered to share their lessons learned, good catches, and near misses for the Safety team to disseminate to the rest of the organization. Poettker Construction routinely flies drones to efficiently and quickly survey large spaces, scan high and less accessible areas of the project, and identify potential risk concerns before they cause problems.

Our on-site teams discuss safety daily in their morning job briefings and weekly during supervisory calls and subcontractor coordination meetings. Poettker Construction Safety team leaders conduct monthly site visits.

All Poettker Construction supervisors are OSHA 30 certified, and most of our trade workers have also achieved this industry safety certification. Multiple employees have elected to advance their safety knowledge further and hold certifications through the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP).

Our annual training programs are customized for each role to ensure our team stays in compliance with OSHA standards. Employees can access courses through our Poettker Elevate learning management system, external training partners, and affiliations with local and state organizations.

Poettker Construction has an extensive corporate safety plan and we orientate all employees and subcontractors on our job sites to ensure that everyone understands our expectations and can complete their jobs safely
