CONSTRUCTION Fundamentals
Protecting Your Workforce and Your Business
Construction is one of the most high-risk industries in the United States, with a fatality rate significantly higher than the national average. Workers face daily exposure to hazards in environments that leave no room for error. OSHA regulations are strict for good reason, and general contractors, subcontractors, and construction managers are under increasing scrutiny.
U.S. Compliance offers Compliance as a Service (CaaS) for construction companies that want the peace of mind that comes with having a dedicated safety team by their side. For a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house safety director, you gain a team of EHS experts who operate as an extension of your staff.
