At CANCO, we put Safety First
Carl A. Nelson & Company is committed to a program of safety on our projects.
That means:
- ensuring a safe working environment for every employee, trade contractor and other visitors to the job site;
- preventing injury and the loss of property;
- and conserving material and financial resources.
We achieve safety by setting high expectations for ourselves and our subcontractors. All Carl A. Nelson & Company field personnel, field leaders and project managers are required to complete OSHA Construction Safety Training, while subcontractors are contractually required to adhere to our safety program. In addition to our general company safety plan, we establish job-specific safety plans, and provide orientation to all workers on the job. Job sites are routinely inspected for safety.
Carl A. Nelson & Company's dedication to safety was demonstrated in June 2024, when we surpassed the 1,000,000-manhour threshold for going without a lost-day accident. This milestone marks the third time in recent history that we have exceeded the 1,000,000-hour mark, including previously being in excess of 1,500,000 hours.
