Safety Audit for New Construction & Renovations
A Safety Audit for new construction & renovations is a systematic, real-time evaluation designed to provide independent safety inspections or support and augment existing contractor or owners’ safety programs. This ensures that safety standards are maintained and adopted as part of the project’s culture. These regular safety audits focus on not only identifying potential hazards but also creating a constant learning environment for the entire workforce.
Talson’s safety group offers many facets of support, including but not limited to:
- Monthly On-Site Inspections: Talson conducts regular inspections at the construction site to assess compliance with OSHA standards or the owner's Required Safety Performance Standards, or Talson can help in developing a site or company-specific safety plan. Regular inspections help minimize risk and ensure that safety measures are being properly implemented.
- Evaluation of an existing Safety Program: Talson will review the construction manager’s safety program to identify deficiencies and areas for improvement. This includes providing guidelines and best practices prior to the start of work activities and previewing upcoming work plans. Talson specializes in tailoring inspection reports to meet the specific needs of the client and each project phase.
- Inspection Reports: Talson creates detailed reports after each inspection, documenting overall safety compliance, highlighting good safety practices, and noting areas where corrective actions have been taken. These reports also serve as a record of safety events and provide a basis for follow-up actions to prevent future safety violations.
A Safety Audit for new construction and renovation is crucial for ensuring that safety protocols are consistently followed, that risks are managed effectively, and that the construction site remains compliant with all safety regulations throughout the project.
